The Ethics of the Jewish Mystics: An Introduction and Commentary Kindle Edition

by Ronald Pies (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
See all formats and editions
How do we live as decent, caring human beings? What values do we chose? The present work is aimed at readers seeking a basic introduction to the ethical teachings of the Jewish mystics. From the author's perspective, what is most valuable in the writings of Jewish mystics like Moses Cordovero and Nachman of Bratslav are their ethical teachings, and the present book is focused primarily on these. No previous knowledge of rabbinic Judaism or Jewish mysticism is required, nor is there any presumption that the reader accepts the theology of Judaism, or believes in the literal truth of its scriptures. On the other hand, readers who embrace the theology of Orthodox Judaism may find this survey of rabbinic ethics a useful guide to "the good life."
