| Abstract
|
:
|
"In A New Kabbalah for Women, Perle Besserman, author and scholar of Jewish mysticism and teacher of meditation, shares a feminine approach to spirituality. Since the time of Moses, Jewish mysticism has been barred to women, and Shekhinah, the feminine side of God, has been forced underground. Now, many women are adapting traditional mystical practices in radical new ways. Besserman is at the forefront of this revolution. In A New Kabbalah for Women, Besserman traces the history of female-centered worship and tells the story of searching for her own path to truth. Combining practices from the Kabbalah with meditation, Besserman walks readers through step-by-step rituals to find their own personal connection with the divine."--Jacket.
