The Handbook of Jewish Meditation Practices: A Guide for Enriching the Sabbath and Other Days of Your Life

I highly recommend this book not only for Jews but even for our Christian cousins seeking to connect more deeply with the Lord. A must-read!!

I just love this book! It is a great aid for me since I was not raised in a home that practiced Judaism. It will open your heart to various techniques of meditation and guidance practiced by the ancients. Each chapter will give you insight and help you to enjoy your daily life. It will renew your Jewishness. Your soul will be so happy when you actually start putting these meditations and insights into practice. You will be growing more confident in your spiritual journey. I do now indeed have confirmation that my ancestors were Jewish. But deep down my soul told me all along that I had a Jewish heart. I have learned so much by reading various books and listening to tapes that Rabbi David A. Cooper has done. This book is right up there with the best of them! I give it 5 stars!

Too much of the literature on Jewish meditation has been written by students of meditation literature, history and personalities. Far too little has been written by practitioners.David Cooper was a meditator long before he was a rabbi and he has practiced the techniques of many traditions; not just of Judaism. He writes with the voice of experience that has become knowing; the voice of the doer-of-it rather than only the student of it. And that makes all the difference.The fact that this book is a bit of a catch-all doesn't take away from its value to those who seek to add new ways of approaching their meditation practice Jewishly.

It was exactly what I was looking for.A lot of great explanations and many ideas to follow guided meditations.

exactly what I wanted . . .provides great assistance and insight for meditating . . . get your word counter fixed. Because of this I will not be participating anymore . . .

I bought it new as a present for a friend and it arrived in perfect condition.

received book in a timely manner, excellent resource for my mediation sessions

love it.
