The Jewish mystical tradition is still speaking to us.

[Spirituality] is, first and foremost, a yearning to connect to the deep essence of things, a sense that there is a layer of existence that lies concealed beneath the surface of perception. It is this same quality that is reflected in the mystical sensibility…. It is, however, important to emphasize that the mystical dimensions of Judaism do not separate easily, if at all, from the traditional structures of the religion.
from the Introduction

In this thoughtful and lucid exploration of the Jewish mystical tradition, leading scholars and teachers come together to share their favorite textsmany available in English for the first timeand explore why these materials are meaningful and relevant to contemporary life.
