Book Review: Kabbalah: A Love Story
Summary: 5 Stars

Rabbi Kalman Stern is such a treasure of a character. The reader follows him through his mystical journey of meaning. Kalman, a modern day Rabbi has his old volume of Zohar, the master text of Kabbalah which he picked up in Israel years ago. The story is an overlay of his loneliness and the interest he has with the astronomer Isabel Benveniste, (a woman who stirs his soul),and that of the Zohar author Don Moshe in 13th century Spain. Don Moshe has taken on a tutoring assignment for the wife of a prominent businessman to teach her Hebrew. Both Stern and Moshe are teachers that discover that they are also students of the mystical insight that links heaven and earth, and in the end it wraps up with the aha! the discovery..of course "you can only have it if you give it away". Love...as it was spoken by God to his people..."You have stolen my heart with one glance". He says that all this talk about ultimate truth is just a silly intellectual game, a diversion. The self attains its apotheosis not in filling itself with yet another new and titillating insight, but in the moment it surrenders itself to its lover. What a great story.

Summary of Kabbalah: A Love Story

Sometime, somewhere, someone is searching for answers . . .
. . . in a thirteenth-century castle
. . . on a train to a concentration camp
. . . in a New York city apartment

Hidden within the binding of an ancient text that has been passed down through the ages lies the answer to one of the heart?s eternal questions. When the text falls into the hands of Rabbi Kalman Stern, he has no idea that his lonely life of intellectual pursuits is about to change once he opens the book. Soon afterward, he meets astronomer Isabel Benveniste, a woman of science who stirs his soul as no woman has for many years. But Kalman has much to learn before he can unlock his heart and let true love into his life. The key lies in the mysterious document he finds inside the Zohar, the master text of the Kabbalah.
