Overcoming Alienation: A Kabbalistic Reflection on the Five Levels of the Soul »

Overcoming Alienation: A Kabbalistic Reflection on the Five Levels of the Soul responds to a pervasive crisis that has overwhelmed the human soul. Rooted in Jewish mystical teachings on the five levels of the soul, the book achieves a deeper understanding of what the soul is and determines what is needful for its life. Turning to Torah and Talmud, to Midrash and Kabbalah, the book draws on millennia of the Jewish teachings that have gone into the nurturing of the soul. Because those teachings are originally articulated in Hebrew, the holy tongue, the book examines what the Hebrew language reveals about the substance and significance of the soul. This is a book designed to speak to anyone who feels a sense of alienation deep within. It penetrates the depth dimensions of the soul to come to the aid of anyone whose soul has silently cried out for meaning.
