Tree of Souls: The Mythology of Judaism

This is a great book for those interested in folklore, mythology, mysticism, legends, fairy and folktales. I found in it fascinating stories, legends, and reference to the Old Testament, the Kabbalah and many other such books. If you're interested to know more about such characters as Lilith, Adam, Eve, the Fallen Angels, Enoch etc etc, and about Jewish mystical worlds and creatures, this is the perfect book. I just couldn't put it down!

I ordered this book for my kid's middle school project. It turned out to be a great book with a lot of interesting stories that our whole family enjoys. Will read it during jewish holidays too. Nice addition to our home library.

A large book that reads like a reference manual. Highly recommended.

This is a compilation of Jewish Myths, or stories passed down through the ages. There is not really any main plot. But it is organized well. And its very interesting and enjoyable to read!

This book is comprehensive and well referenced. Sometimes a bit hard to tell where the myth ends and commentary begins. An essential source for modern divrei Torah as well.

Covers just about everything one would want to know. Hundreds of myths (religious based, mostly) but presented in such a way that one can skip around and read those of interest.

Very interesting read.

Interesting read. I purchased book out of curiosity.

This book is a very well written and comprehensive collection of Jewish myths, folk tales and legends. I bought this book as a reference for a larger body of research and it has been very useful when it comes to searching for particular stories. The book is split into several sections which categorise the stories under diferent subjects making searching for one no problem at all. Most entries also contain references and often a larger explanation of the entry itself.One thing that took me slightly off-guard however was the size and volume of the book, but this wasn't a problem as I like having large reference books.

Parables with morals that are educational and good for the most part

Buch wurde prompt geliefert. Das Buch ist eine sehr gut Zusammenstellung jüdisch-rabbinischer Themenkomplexe und Themen, die übersichtlich geordnet dargeboten werden. Der Autor bietet pro Thema nicht zu viele Informationen, spart aber nicht mit Quellenverweisen. Wer sich über dies oder das informieren will, schlägt es auf und findet in der Regel zu dem was er sucht, zumindestens bestimmte Anhaltspunkte. Besonders geht der Autor auf bis heute tabuisierte Themen, wie z. B. jüdische Dämonologie, ein. Ein lohnenswerter Kauf. Unbedingt empfehlenswert.
