About this listen

Kabbalah For Dummies presents a balanced perspective of Kabbalah as an "umbrella" for a complex assemblage of mystical Jewish teachings and codification techniques. Kabbalah for Dummies also shows how Kabbalah simultaneously presents an approach to the study of text, the performance of ritual, and the experience of worship, as well as how the listener can apply its teaching to everyday life.

Genuinely very good

I have a fair bit of knowledge of the more occult tradition of Kabbalah as well as some more traditional Jewish knowledge (lots of books, lots of teachers) but this book is still useful and covers traditional Kabbalism with a lot of charm and insight. A beautiful look into the rich world of Kabbalistic theology.

Approachable and informative

This is a nice introduction to the basics of a complex religious discipline.As being part of the 'for dummies' series implies, this is intended for beginners or those who want a simple overview

Hard to follow

This book is boring and hard to follow. It’s very hard to stay interested in. I’ve been able to follow other books on Kabbalah so it’s not the subject matter. I will say it tries to remain respectful of the religion but I feel like it goes on and on and walks on eggshells too much. Like we get it, move on. Maybe this book is better as a reference book. I should’ve known a 15hr book would beat something to death without making things clear and concise. Now I can’t return it because one too many returns. I don’t mean to keep buying books with terribly laid out subject matter. I will say, I do really enjoy the narrator’s voice.
