YOU
There is a wisdom awaiting you that is not supposed to be a secret. It is ancient, and it is available, but it is widely unknown. It has been hidden for too long, and it is time for it to be revealed.
Existence is not meaningless. Humanity is not irredeemable. The future is not bleak. The alienation and despair that lurk just beneath the surface of the modern psyche are not the inevitable human condition. They are the result of misguided ideologies that pervade our global culture and invade our every thought. Each of us - each and every one of us - is so much more than we imagine. We are here for a reason, and we are equipped with all of the capabilities that we require.
"You" is an introduction to the deepest depths of the human experience based on the esoteric teachings of the Torah. These concepts have been shrouded in the cloistered world of Chasidic mysticism for millennia, and the goal here is to present them in terms that will be accessible and resonant to the layperson. The ideas that "You" expounds will be useful and inspiring for people of all creeds, races, and backgrounds, for those who practice and believe as well as those who question and doubt.

You, by Pnei Hashem, takes readers on an enlightening spiritual journey that is based on the teachings of the Torah. This ancient wisdom is provided under a new light and with new translations and messages. The book is about the reader and the ultimate mission is being at peace, giving the reader inspirational quotes, written in bold characters to be more noticeable.
Pnei Hashem writes in a very descriptive way, taking time to describe, in detail, what the points of the book are and what they mean. Readers will walk away from this book with a full understanding of the text. Furthermore, Hebrew words are explained under a linguist point of view, examining different translations and their influence on the spiritual messages. The focus is on introspective questions, making a connection between the spiritual world and everyday life, from the Torah to normal life situations.
This book will be enlightening to non-Hebrew readers as all aspects are covered in this book and details are provided to help you understand. Readers who are knowledgeable on the subject will find great value as I believe the book is more interesting once you have a foundation with which to ponder the ideas that Pnei Hashem puts forth. Deep within the text lies a linguistic study on sacred texts and an analysis and revision of translation, that will appeal to readers that are familiar with the languages and sacred texts in general.
You is an informative and thought-provoking book, especially to those who are interested in religion and spiritual life, more specifically on God and the Torah. Some readers won’t agree with the writer, and the author acknowledges that, asking questions and giving answers to them. But in this way, I feel this book is accessible to anyone that is willing to listen.

The Review
This was a truly profound and engaging read. The heart of this book lies in the exploration of Jewish mysticism and the Torah as a whole. The author’s expertise and research were so well-defined in this book, exploring passages and discoveries about this religious text that few modern spiritual and mystic readers have taken the time to explore on their own. The imagery of these passages was powerful in their own right, as it helps to see the connections between the stories being told and the messages that they have within them.
What stuck out to me immediately was the way in which the author was able to write about this subject without taking a “preaching” or “conversion” approach to the topics. The way the author allows people of all backgrounds to explore this topic and draw their own conclusions from it was so inspiring to read, for although I am spiritual I am not really a believer in any one particular religion or faith. However, the concept of ego death and the realities of consciousness as a whole was so captivating to read about.
The Verdict
Thrilling, mesmerizing, and thought-provoking, author Pnei Hashem’s “You” is a must-read nonfiction spiritual read. The eye-opening discussions and combination of philosophical and spiritual themes in regard to the Torah and Jewish Mysticism were brilliant to behold, and diving into the history and culture of this particular faith was heartwarming to read about.
