Rather than merely identifying literary motifs in the stories, Wineman explains how these motifs convey metaphysical beliefs... The volume is lovingly composed, meticulously edited and lucidly illustrated... One could hardly ask for a fuller analysis... A more reader-friendly book would be difficult to imagine. -- Robert Segal, University of Lancaster
Aryeh Wineman is a Rabbi at Temple Beth-El in Troy, New York.
"There has been a recent upsurge of interest in Jewish mysticism, and the material in this book, while scholarly, can be readily understood by interested lay readers."--Library Journal
