Books!

I mentioned wanting some books in an earlier post, I thought I would expand on that list a little. List them here and then add to the list as I think of things. Take them off when I get them, A running list for myself if nothing else.

I asked Rabbi Baker to comment on my journal when he can, He runs http://www.everybodyneedsarabbi.com/ So you should check him out, I'll get more into the various rabbi's and what I think of them later. Another thing I would like to talk about is a) the jewish prayer and relationship between god and the people. and b) the nature of humanity and the global relationship, which I really want to get into before any rabbi begins commenting on my Journal. So maybe I can get that done later today.

Torah: (ok yes I know I have four allready, but  CBI sells one that has the Haftorah section right after each Torah portion, which I think would be both useful and fun, for studying at home for instance)

ANOTHER TORAH!: er yeah, another Torah, Rabbi Olshien mentioned the existance of a Torah that was translated word for word from hebrew into english with no bias and no agenda, meaning that everything in this translation is word for word. that sounds FASCINATING!

The Jew in the Lotus: I want to get my copy signed by the author this month.

The Zohar: (I adore mysticism and folklore, the idea of a book that merely tried to bring beauty and magic back to Torah is really amazing, I do not want anything to do with the Kabbalah Center and I would really really be annoyed if the only copy I could get my hands on was one edited by a member of the Golden Dawn, if you want to know more about the Golden Dawn I'd be happy to expound in a future post on Mysticism and modern magic, just comment here that you want to see it.

On your Doorpost (rabbi Lippe, please correct the title and gimme the author!) A guidebook with blessings prayers and rituals for living in a Jewish Home.


Legends of the Jews/Legends of the Bible: (Legends of the Jews is a huge collection of all the Midrash of the Torah combined and brought together interlinked into beautiful stories, The Legends of the Bible is essentially the condensed version of the same.)
