THOROUGHLY MODERN MOSES

Ordered to replace Moses by the Lord God Almighty, Supreme Being of the Universe and all round Nice-Guy, Mr. Rosenberg  embarks on an adventure of biblical proportions. Will he survive? Will there be tea and cake?

A science-fiction biblical comedy. Hitch-Hikers meets the Bible - enjoy! (Contains over 300 pages of laughter).

TO MAKE THE LETTERS SOAR

How to Pray the Kabbalah Way

Prayer is Judaism’s primary spiritual practice; Kabbalah is its principle mystical and spiritual system. How can these two be married together to help worshipers striving to reach the pinnacle of religious experience?

The answer lies in the kavvanot, kabbalistic meditations to accompany Jewish prayer. In this work, designed for those who are aiming for more spirituality in their prayer-life as well as those who want to put the ideas of the Kabbalah into practice, Rabbi Larry will introduce you to the theory of kavvanot, and guide you through a wide range of suggested practices, that will enhance your spiritual awareness of living in a universe infused with the divine. No knowledge of  Hebrew is required.

Hasidic and Kabbalistic Insights into the Jewish Holidays

If you are familiar with the fasts and festivals of the Jewish year, then you are probably aware of their historical background and moral significance, but what about their spiritual message? In this work, Rabbi Larry Tabick guides you through a vast array of Jewish mystical texts, drawn from Kabbalah and Hasidism, that offer deeper insight into these well-known occasions, their meaning, customs and practices. Many of these texts have never been translated before. Each selection is introduced briefly, accompanied by notes clarifying obscure points, and followed by a short commentary exploring its modern spiritual relevance.
