    Books on Judaism

    Thanks very much, and I'll definitely be keeping that advice, I'll try and see where I click the most (if that makes any sense?). I've actually read some of Arthur Green's books, I think one was 'Ehyeh: A Kabbalah for Tomorrow' and I've got 'Seek My Face, Speak My Name: A Contemporary Jewish...

    Books on Judaism

    Thanks for all the information, again, I didn't know about all the differences between the different Jewish denominations (the only major ones I knew were Orthodox and Reform). If you don't mind me asking, what is the relationship like between Conservative Judaism and other non-Orthodox forms...

    Books on Judaism

    I didn't know that. I don't know too much about Rabbi Sacks, just what I've read from his Wiki, and other sites, although, I do like the sound of some of his books, like 'The Dignity of Difference' is one I'd really like to get. BTW, just out of curiousity, does Masorti mean Conservative...

    Books on Judaism

    Again, thanks for all that info, that's a lot to think about. I can't be sure, but, I think the Reform movement is respected here, and is quite traditional. That said, I don't know anything about inter-Jewish relations (although, I have read on the internet that there has been issues between...

    Books on Judaism

    I would actually really appreciate that, as I don't think I've ever seen a Jewish bookshop over here (I normally head to big bookstores, like Waterstones, or Foyles, or, a certain spiritual/esoteric bookshop called Watkins (it has a lot of books for every taste - Jewish, Christian, Muslim...

    Books on Judaism

    Thanks very much for all those recommendations, I'll definitely be bookmarking this thread, and getting the resources recommended. I've seen The Jewish Study Bible in the shops, and I don't think it's expensive, or too expensive anyway, so, I'll try and get that soon. I also have been thinking...

    Books on Judaism

    I am interested in learning more about the the mystical traditions of Judaism, so, if there any good titles on Jewish mysticism you (or others) could recommended, I'd appreciate that (I've read parts of 'Meditation and the Bible' by Aryeh Kaplan, and really liked what I read, and his 'Jewish...

    Books on Judaism

    Thanks very much for all those book recommendations, and links, you've given me a lot of great help. As for the Sacred Text, is Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan's 'The Living Torah' a good copy to get?, I've seen that recommended as a good source/translation before.

    Books on Judaism

    I wasn't sure if there was another thread like this, so, if there is, I'm sorry for the repeat, but, I was wondering, what are some good books on Judaism?. I wasn't raised in a religious household, and my Mum is more of an Atheist than anything, but, on her side, I have Jewish ancestry and I...

    Most profound Rabbis

    There's a few I like, but, I'd have to say, Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, I've read some of his articles, and a couple of his books (I'm on 'Jewish Meditation' now), and I really like his style, he seems to be able to communicate complex mystical themes to the lay reader, without watering anything down...

    Jewish perspective on other religions

    I hope this is the right place for this, I wasn't sure what sub-forum to put it in, but, I'm hoping someone can help me out. What's the Jewish perspective on other religions?, like where would people (or beings) like the Buddha, the Hindu deities, Jesus, and all the other beings that other...

    Jewish Renewal

    Thanks Levite for telling me, and I'll be sure to follow your advice. One of Rabbi Zalman's books sounds quite interesting, it's called 'Jewish With Feeling', do you know if that's any good?. Anyway, thanks again for your help and reply :). David.

    Jewish Renewal

    I was wondering, has anyone here heard of Jewish Renewal, or is there anyone who's part of it?. I'm not Jewish, although, on my Mum's side I am (but, I wasn't raised in religious, as my Mum is more Atheist than anything), but, I've been exploring Judaism a lot more, along with some other...

    Is living a gay/lesbian lifestyle a problem with God?

    I don't think being LGBT is something God would hate you for, and, also, a lot of the verses that prohibit homosexuality are open to interpretation, like, there have been many good books by both scholars, and members of various Abrahamic Faiths, that state why homosexuality isn't a "sin", one...
