Deep Calling Unto Deep

by Jacob Immanuel Schochet

Jewish mysticism has long fascinated and intrigued scholars and truth-seekers of every kind. Kabbalah, the esoteric wisdom of Judaism, and chasidism, its more accessible modern counterpart, have been the sublect of endless study and research. An authentic and scholarly English text that draws upon the full spectrum of traditional Jewish sources is a most valuable addition to this study. In this three-volume series, Rabbi Schochet, presents a sweeping survey of the major themes and concepts found in kabbalah and chasidism, and show how the exoteric and esoteric aspects of Torah complement each other in a manner analogous to body and soul of one entity. Volume Deep calling Unto Deep - Jewish mysticism, particularly chasidism, offers unique insights into the dynamics of both tefilah, prayer, and teshuvah, repentance. This volume helps to make the practice of the these two fundamental principles of Judaism a more consciously vital experience, exploring the spiritual dimensions of each of them.
