| 1. |  | My Grandfather's Blessings: Stories of Strength, Refuge, and Belonging from Thorndike Press Customer Review:  Real life wisdom for living life in balance and with heart. Rachel tells her stories openly, with compassion and great warmth. I have given this book to friends and family and carry its lessons in my own life. A lovely read, not at all preachy. Each chapter is worth savoring. |

| 5. |  | I Asked For Wonder: A Spiritual Anthology from The Crossroad Publishing Company Price: $11.53 Customer Review: This is a composite of the most poetic, sparkling bits of Heschel. It is to be savored, bite by delicious bite. Heschel is so rich I can only read him in small mouthfuls, one at a time. He is a major poet of Judiasm and a sage as well. |

| 11. |  | A Guide to Jewish Prayer from Schocken Price: $10.85 Customer Review: There are a number of good books on the subject of Jewish Prayer.

| 12. |  | Torah Yoga: Experiencing Jewish Wisdom Through Classic Postures (Arthur Kurzweil Books) from Jossey-Bass Price: $13.57 Customer Review:  Torah Yoga tries to weave together overly simplified, and uselessly simplistic, ideas from Jewish mysticism with hatha yoga practice and philosophy. The result reads like those affirmations Al Franken used to do on SNL. Yes, you may be a spark of God's infinite light, and that may lead to a warm and... |
