Many practitioners of the Enneagram have detected a Kabbalistic influence on its practice. In The Enneagram and Kabbalah, Rabbi Howard Addison draws clear parallels between the two disciplines. He shows how they amplify each other's essential teachings to help us better understand our strengths and weaknesses. 
By looking through the lens of Kabbalah at the nine personalities of the Enneagram, Addison reveals the extraordinary correspondence between the two systems. He adapts classical Kabbalistic spiritual practices to the Enneagram's nine personality types, creating a powerful combined tool to enhance your personal spiritual understanding. 
This pioneering book shows that when brought together, the Enneagram and Kabbalah may help you make more sense of your life, give it greater direction, and open wider the gate of spiritual self-discovery.

Evolving Halakhah affirms the system of traditional Jewish law, halakhah, as a developing and moral structure, flexible enough to accommodate the changing realities of each generation. In this accessible analysis of halakhah, Moshe Zemer issues a clarion call to follow the ancient and modern principles of evolving halakhah, which demands ethical deeds, the discovery of holiness in the Commandments, a critical approach to the Tradition, and responsibility of the entire Community of Israel. These principles are viewed as the framework in which the other commandments are applied. It shows that the traditional framework for understanding the Torah's commandments can be the living heart of Jewish life for all Jews - including Reform, Reconstructionist, Conservative, and Modern Orthodox.

The basic vocabulary of Jewish spiritual life, explained with humor, insight and relevance to guide you on a historical and spiritual journey through Judaism.
Judaism itself is a language, a group's way of expressing beliefs, longings, aspirations and dreams. The vocabulary of Jewish life is the framework that Jews use to hand their past down to their children. It is also the vocabulary that people of other faiths need to know to understand Judaism and Jewish life.
In this revised, expanded, highly readable, enlightening and entertaining new edition of "the ultimate Jewish primer," one of the greatest spiritual teachers of our time takes readers—Jews and non-Jews alike—on a historical and spiritual journey through Judaism. Dr. Arthur Green explains the meaning, history and origin of over 150 core Hebrew words that are shared and understood throughout the Jewish world. With humor, insight and relevance, he lays out the basic vocabulary of Jewish communal and religious identity and shows why it is important for people to know and use these words in Hebrew.
