Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In Hebrew, the word "Ehyeh" ("I shall be") is the most sacred and secret name for God. It is this word that drives Arthur Green's Ehyeh: A Kabbalah for Tomorrow, a well-informed introduction to Kabbalah for the spiritual seeker. It is tremendously refreshing to read a Kabbalah book that draws from the well of Jewish scholarly tradition but also successfully speaks to a larger audience. Green, who has studied Jewish mysticism for more than 40 years, has evolved from one who dabbled in psychedelics and Kabbalah in the 1960s to a teacher whose erudition bridges the gap between Kabbalah scholarship and popular interest. After a sensitive autobiographical introduction, Green settles into chapters that explore Kabbalah in the past, present and future. Copyright 2003 Cahners Business Information.
Library Journal
This book's title is, according to Jewish mystical teachings, the deepest and most hidden name of God and can be translated as "I shall be." Green (Jewish thought, Brandeis Univ.) claims to be writing for seekers, whether they are Jewish or not, though he does presume "some experience in the spiritual realm" on the part of his readers. He provides an easily digested overview of the history of Kabbalah, the central works and teachings, its relevance for today, and thoughts about its future. Green comfortably shares much of his own personal search while providing suggestions and opportunities for readers to incorporate elements of the Kabbalah into their own spiritual practice. An especially valuable epilog gives suggestions for further study in English, an exhortation and broad method for learning Hebrew, and a detailed road map for even deeper learning once Hebrew is mastered. Substantive but not overwhelming, the book serves well as an introduction to this complex and often oversimplified tradition. Recommended for public and academic libraries.-Stephen Joseph, Butler Cty. Community Coll., PA Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
