The Image and the Book is a richly documented and provocative collection of studies and essays dealing with the historical background of biblical ban on religious images. It describes the role and theology of the divine image in the civilizations surrounding Israel, and shows that there has been long-standing worship of images in Israel. Though the Bible intimates that Israelite religion was aniconic from the very beginning, the archaeological evidence and the dispassionate analysis of the available texts shows otherwise. The iconographical remains yield a fascinating view of the development and varieties in the cult of religious images. The iconoclasm of influential currents in the late Israelite and early Judaic religion went in tandem with the promotion of the Book of the Law as a substitute of the image. In the case of the Bible, the rise of book religion must be seen in conjunction with the battle against images.

The Image and the Book: Iconic Cults, Aniconism, and the Rise of Book Religion in Israel and the Ancient Near East, Vol. 21
A Heart Afire by Zalman Schacter-Shalomi and Netanel Miles-Yepez, two of the foremost authorities on Hasidism, Kabbalah and Sufism, is an exposition of many of the lesser-known and previously unpublished stories and teachings of the of the first three generations of Hasidism. The teachings and stories the books writers have selected for translation arethose that they felt to be most significant to themselves and their readers.
The book focuses upon those of the Ba'al Shem Tov; his heirs (boh male and female); and the students of his successor, the Maggid of Mezritch.
The book is split into three parts
1. The Hidden Traditiona and the Ba'al Shem Tov
2. The Circle Of The Ba'al and the Maggie of Mezritch
3. The Circle Of The Maggie and the Rebbe King
With reference to Sufism, Buddhism, and depth psychology it highlights aspects of the Jewish Renewal Movement.
My Review
We found A Heart Afire to be a rich, authentic and engaging anthology. It never fails to reveal the hidden lore of its tradition at every turn of the page. Readers wishing to progress further down the line from contemporary Kabbalah in particular will find much here to illuminate the Soul.
