1.		The Rebbe: The Life and Afterlife of Menachem Mendel Schneerson from Princeton University Press Customer Review: Mark Twain once said, "first get your facts; then you can distort them at your leisure." Serious questions have been raised about the scholarship underlying this book, "The Rebbe: The Life and Afterlife of Menachem Mendel Schneerson" (Princeton University Press, 2010). In a 45-page monograph, Chaim... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Untold Tales of the Hasidim: Crisis and Discontent in the History of Hasidism (Tauber Institute for the Study of European Jewry Series) from Brandeis Price: $26.00 Customer Review: This is an arresting series of tales that demonstrate that hasidic rebbes are not just saints but real human beings with human flaws and lives worthy of examination. Hasidim will probably criticize Assaf as they have criticized Heilman & Friedman's book THE REBBE: THE LIFE AND AFTERLIFE OF... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Mitzvah Girls: Bringing Up the Next Generation of Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn from Princeton University Press Price: $37.12 Customer Review: For my anthropology class we were given a choice of books to read; I selected this one (living in Brooklyn I was somewhat familiar with the subject of the book). For an assignment book this one provided many interesting insights into the Hasidic community. The author uses interviews, and what is... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Toward a Meaningful Life, New Edition: The Wisdom of the Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson from Harper Paperbacks Price: $8.16 Customer Review: Havn't had the chance to read it yet.... but from 1st glance- much to learn there, much to contemplate, much to grow...	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Tales of the Hasidim (v. 1-2) from Schocken Price: $12.29 Customer Review: Chassidic tales - the stories of Chassidic rabbis - is the subject of scholarly study. Papers, books, and dissertations are written on the subject. Scholars identify all kinds of issues and debate them with fervor. Why, they ask, were these stories told and why were they written down? Does... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		The Rebbe's Army: Inside the World of Chabad-Lubavitch from Schocken Price: $6.19 Customer Review: This is a great objective view inside the world of Chabad- Lubavitch. A Jewish group that has revolutionized how Hasidic Judaism is viewed and observed in a modern high tech world. The Rebbe has done lots to change and revitalize the fire of Jewish outreach in parts of the world that have nothing... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism from Schocken Price: $7.99 Customer Review: The shipping was very quick and I found the book to be as decribed by the seller.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Open Secret: Postmessianic Messianism and the Mystical Revision of Menahem Mendel Schneerson from Columbia University Press Price: $28.00 Customer Review: I've taught in the Religion Department of a highly-regarded liberal arts college for 23 years, and over that period have fought a constant uphill battle in my own teaching to avoid watering down material for students. This past semester, in a course on Jewish messianism, I decided to assign "Open... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Light And Fire of the Baal Shem Tov from Continuum Price: $23.72 Customer Review: This is truly a special book. What comes through these pages are not just words and stories, but a real taste of the light and fire of the Baal Shem Tov. As I read it I had the sense that the book was a true vehicle for transmission. I was also touched by the effort of the author as I read the book.... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Souls on Fire: Portraits and Legends of Hasidic Masters from Simon & Schuster Price: $4.16 Customer Review: I haven't read this book yet. It is in line as the next one up. I can only say the book inside and outside flaps and preface seem to hint of a very stimulating and "don't stop reading" feeling. Will re-review after it is read. The book came quickly and in perfect condition. Great job to all... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Hasidic Tales: Annotated & Explained (Skylight Illuminations) from Skylight Paths Publishing Price: $7.52 Customer Review: Rabbi Rami Shapiro promotes a non-dualist form of Judaism, and here, in this carefully chosen selection of tales from Hasidic sources, Rabbi Shapiro shows us how this form of the religion looks both in theory and practice. There is informal theology here: examples of how the early Hasids viewed... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Boychiks in the Hood: Travels in the Hasidic Underground from HarperOne Price: $3.79 Customer Review: I read Boychiks in 1997, and recently picked it up again for a second read. There is no doubt that Eisenberg has created an enjoyable reading experience in this work. It is funny, humorous, self-depreciating, and shows the world of the ultra-orthodox in very human shades. In the 13 years since I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		The Legend of Baal-Shem from Schocken Books Price: $44.68 Customer Review: I was originally drawn to Judaism by Martin Buber's wonderful "Tales of the Hasidim" (which has a good section on the Baal Shem Tov). But Buber disavowed his earlier "Legend of the Baal Shem" because it was too flowery and departed too far from the original material; it is also only a mere snippet... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Holy Days: The World Of The Hasidic Family from Touchstone Price: $8.54 Customer Review: Overall, I really enjoyed this book, after having heard so many good things about it for so long. Ms. Harris had long been curious about the Hassidim because of some old family photos of her own Hassidic ancestors, and she finally got a chance to not only indulge her curiosity but also to learn more... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		The Empty Chair: Finding Hope & Joy - Timeless Wisdom from a Hasidic Master, Rebbe Nachmann of Breslov from Jewish Lights Publishing Price: $5.14 Customer Review: The Empty Chair: Finding Hope and Joy (1996) is a brief collection of timeless, flawless inspirational advice. Though written from a Jewish perspective, the advice given is of universal value. This is a book you can refer back to over and over. The book also makes a nice gift for those you know who... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Mystics, Mavericks, and Merrymakers: An Intimate Journey among Hasidic Girls from NYU Press Price: $13.00 Customer Review: This was such a wonderful eye-opening book about the variety of girls in the Lubavitch community in Crown Heights. This book breaks the stereotype that says that girls from very religious families become "drone-like" or don't have their individuality. Within their very prescribed world, because of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Rabbi Jonathan Sacks's Haggadah: Hebrew and English Text With New Essays and Commentary by Jonathan Sacks (Hebrew Edition) from Continuum Price: $15.63 Customer Review: If open this book as a Hebrew book, from the "back", it's a Haggadah, ready to be used at your next seder. Open if from the "front" and it's a book of essays about the Haggadah. This is a great introductory Haggadah and the essays are very insightful, as you'd expect from Rabbi Sacks. I give it four... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		The Way Of Man: According to the Teaching of Hasidism from Citadel Price: $28.99 Customer Review: I teach a graduate counseling course on Martin Buber's anthropology and philosophy of dialogue as it illumines the art and science of pastoral counseling. A rabbi at a workshop I did for military chaplains told me about it. It is a gem - one of the top ten books I have ever read. It is without... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Bringing Heaven Down to Earth: 365 Meditations of the Rebbe from Class One Press Price: $19.90 Customer Review: This is one of the most special books in my collection because it was a present from Rabbi Chaim Adelman of the Chabad House at UMass-Amherst in May of 2002. (In addition to being a great person and really funny, Rabbi Adelman was also quite possibly my favorite rabbi I've ever had.) There was a... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		A Heart Afire: Stories and Teachings of the Early Hasidic Masters from Jewish Publication Society of America Price: $26.51 Customer Review: This long book (400+ pages) by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi and Netanel Miles-Yepez contains teachings from the first three generations of the Hasidic movement; especially the Baal Shem Tov, the Maggid of Mezritch, and Elimelekh of Lizhensk. But the book is much more than this as these... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
