Lone Stars of David: The Jews of Texas
I really like this book and I can see myself returning to it and gaining new insights every time. Down sides: I don't actually think this is a good introduction to Jewish mysticism as it immediately plunges the reader into actual mystical text, thought, and meditations. Some history or even an idea of when the various texts are written in relation to each other might have been useful. That said, I'm in no way a newbie to mysticism. I know every work he referenced, and could follow the subtlety of his references, and so for me this was a wonderful and refreshing delight. I'd highly recommend it to someone who's had at least a brief introduction elsewhere. I have only read a few books by this author, but I believe that this is far and away his best work.
