Gabriel's Palace. by Schwartz, Howard.  New York, NY: Oxford University Press. 1993. The Mysteries in these books are clothed in stories. This is a collection of Rabbinic, Kabbalistic, Hasidic and other mystical tales from the international Jewish tradition. If you have a fondness for illusion these tales have an illusory, timeless quality that simultaneously pierce the veil of illusion - similar to the Indian myths particularly concerning Vishnu, which also portray the illusory world.
God Whispers: Stories of the Soul, Lessons of the Heart. by Kedar, Karyn, ed.  Woodstock, VT: Jewish Lights Publishing. 1999. Heartfelt stories of everyday people that inspire us to challenge life's peaks and pitfalls - and begin our own journey of spiritual and personal growth. To embark on a spiritual journey, we must engage in two dances: one lessens fear, and one expands moments of love and connectedness. This book is about those dances, about the journey to spiritual awareness and understanding.
