Title : Ascending Jacob's Ladder Category : Jewish Holidays

Description: Rabbi Yaacob Hillel, a scholar of Kabbalah, presents us in this volume a series of essays in which he mainly addresses the theme of the festivals of the Hebrew year. However, it does not leave aside the issues of Jewish life, prayer, teshubá, the study of the Torah and of course that related to the study of Kabbalah.

Why I recommend it: This title will provide you with a system of guidance and advice. Quite clearly it will break down concepts that can be dark and complicated to understand. An ideal book that will provide you with a deep meaning of each of the Judaism festivals beyond the mere ritual meaning. As the same author articulates it: "I have put as title to this book Ascending Jacob's Ladder , as its purpose is to guide and encourage people to improve their spiritual life, thus allowing them to ascend the ladder of perfection that links us with the Creator.
