Title: Incredibly insightful
Product review: I an era where nearly everyone claims to be teaching or studying the Kabbalah, Frankel is the real thing. She brings her depth of experience and of Jewish learning to her psychotherapy patients and now to her readers. I know a good deal about the biblical and Talmudic texts that she discusses and I found her approach not only authentic and true to the spirit of the texts but also eye-opening and enlightening.Frankel tells many Hasidic stories and bases much of her wisdom and insight on the thoughts of the Hasidic masters. Here as well, I knew something about her subject matter, but she went far beyond what I knew to show how insightful these thinkers were and how much they knew about human psychology. Her treatment of teshuva (repentance/return) and of finding the good in oneself and in others are particularly thoughtful and inspiring.This book embodies the best of the Jewish renewal movement. It is true to the tradition and yet goes much farther.
