Review # 1 was written on 2008-09-24 00:00:00 Jimmie D King Interesting Introduction. It gives a good preview for engaging the aphorisms found in the body of the compilation. However, while the introduction may be geared towards the beginning student of Hasidism or the curious soul, the rest of the book is without much in the way of comment or context save the occasional endnote. And the endnotes primarily cite the quote's source and stop there. While I would recommend reading the book, it should probably not stand alone. Certainly for myself, and I am a new student to Judaica in general let alone Hasidic scholarship, I was left confused equally as often as I was touched.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-05-03 00:00:00 Stephan Keusch A classic of Hasidic spirituality, and one of the best books on prayer available.
