The How, What and Why of Talking to God (Matronita Pocket Guides, #1)
by Rivka Levy
Kabbalistic Metaphors: Jewish Mystical Themes in Ancient and Modern Thought places the major symbols of the theosophical Kabbalah into a dialogue with several systems of ancient and modern thought, including Indian Philosophy, Platonism, Gnosticism, and the works of Hegel, Freud, and Jung.

Shnayim Ochzin B'Tallit (Hatsa at Tokhen Siohah Be-Hitova Adut U-Mesibat Bene Torah)
by Menachem M Schneerson
Contemporary Jews often find meaning in Judaism's family and communal orientation, its beautiful rituals, its enriching culture, its sense of ethnic rootedness, and its moral values.
