Kelly Grice I felt tranquillity and inner peace just reading this. A beautifully written review.

Noam Beautiful, Matty. I find your review very comforting. 🙏
I don’t know how you find time for reading all these books. I’m certainly going to learn more about the Kabbalah once I’m retired, if I’ll ever get to that stage… 😉

david How lucky am I to have met you, dear Matty! I cannot articulate my impression of your words accurately but my heart and mind are in sync with your thoughts. ❤

Joe Krakovsky This does sound like it could bring tranquility to one that needs it, Matty.

Thanks for this gorgeous comment, Kelly! The book actually gave me some much-needed peace and quiet. I’m just hoping the effect lasts for at least a few weeks... though I haven't checked the expiration date yet! 😉

Thank you so much, Noam! Honestly, I just installed the latest update and now there are 32 hours in my day. You should try it! 😉
But wait... you're planning to wait 30 years until retirement to read this?! Well, you young people have your own priorities, I get it. 😎

Thank you very much, Reb Daveed! But I would think twice before initiating that sync. Are you sure you want my unhinged thoughts downloading into your system? 🤪There is no factory reset button for this! 😎

That's right. Jewish mysticism opens up a beautiful world of reflection, and exploring it definitely brings a sense of calm.

david Haha. I have been called Reb david before, dear Matty. And it is close to a truth. Mind you, the small 'd' is with intent to manifest my insignificance. And yes, my heart and mind are open to download your unhinged thoughts.

Oy, that humility almost killed me! Let me bestow some significance upon you, David. Here, take these: D D D D D ! 😎
Open? Okay then, download at your own risk! 🤪😉💥

Thanks for the kind words! The book feels like a piece of heaven; it gives you the serenity of a quiet dawn after a long night... a kind of peace most of us genuinely need these days.
