Think Jewish
By Zalman I. Posner
A Contemporary View of Judaism, a Jewish View of Today's World.
The eloquent, eye-opening essays in Think Jewish--an instant classic since its publication in 1978--have been reprinted in a brand new edition. Thankfully, only the font, typesetting, and cover have been altered; the words remain as on-target as ever.
Think Jewish slices through the niggling conflicts that block a Jew from living Jewish. Each of the 26 chapters opens with a tough question: "Can't I be good without being religious?" "Wouldn't mankind be better off without labels that separate?" "Aren't Mitzvot restricting?"
The answers, which turn Western thought inside out, are down-to-earth and delivered in deftly polished prose. Think Jewish has the power to change minds for the better.

Heaven Exposed
By Tzvi Freeman
Who says esoteric wisdom has to be dull?
In Heaven Exposed, Freeman polishes timeless fables with the fiery wisdom of the Kabala and welds them into a titanium, hi-tech setting. What makes this so spectacular is that the fables and the Kabala are as authentic as you can get. What's even more wondrous is that such deep wisdom could be made such fun.
As the author puts it, "G-d is found in paradox - and it is paradox that makes people laugh."

The Philosophy of Chabad
By Dr. Nissan Mindel
An introduction to Rabbi Schneur Zalman's Chasidic philosophy, which is a synthesis of the mystical, rational and ethical currents of Jewish thought. In Chabad Chasidism the esoteric teachings of Kabbalah are explained and harmonized with the practical guidance of Jewish law. This authoritative study traces Chabad philosophy to its origins in Jewish sacred literature, including the Talmud and Midrash, and explores its relationship to other trends in Jewish philosophy. A supplement of selected readings from the Tanya allows the reader to become acquainted with the style and method of Rabbi Schneur Zalman's own writing.

The Dignity of Difference
By Jonathan Sacks
The year 2001 began as the United Nations Year of Dialogue between Civilizations. By its end, the phrase that came most readily to mind was 'the clash of civilizations.' The tragedy of September 11 intensified the danger caused by religious differences around the world. As the politics of identity begin to replace the politics of ideology, can religion become a force for peace?
The Dignity of Difference is Rabbi Jonathan Sacks's radical proposal for reconciling hatreds. The first major statement by a Jewish leader on the ethics of globalization, it also marks a paradigm shift in the approach to religious coexistence. Sacks argues that we must do more than search for values common to all faiths; we must also reframe the way we see our differences.

The Mystery of Kaddish
By Rabbi Dovber Pinson
Understanding the Mourner's Kaddish
The Mystery of Kaddish is an in-depth and Kabbalistic exploration into the Mourner's Kaddish Prayer. Throughout Jewish history, there have been many rites and rituals associated with loss and mourning, yet none have prevailed quite like the Mourner's Kaddish Prayer - which has become the definitive ritual of mourning.
The Mystery of Kaddish explores the source of this prayer and deconstructs the meaning to better understand the grieving process and how the Kaddish prayer supports and uplifts the bereaved through their own personal journey to healing.

Kaballah
To Touch the Divine
A Jewish Mysticism Primer, A collection of essays by various authors.
A symposium on Jewish mysticism held in 1981 by the Lubavitch Foundation of Great Britain provided the framework for this series of talks. The resulting essays are unlike academic treatments of Jewish mysticism, in which study is divorced from the life-giving tradition from which it springs. Addressed to a diverse audience, they deal with the difference between mysticism and mystical experience, between Jewish and other forms of mysticism, meditation, cults, Kabbalah, and concepts of the Tanya as expressed in contemporary idiom. Includes an introductory letter by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, informative notes, and a glossary.

Teachings of the Rebbe
Toward a Meaningful Life
by Simon Jacobson
Toward a Meaningful Life is a spiritual road map for living-for Jews and non-Jews alike-based on the teachings of one of the foremost religious leaders of our time: Rebbe Menachem Mendel Sclmeerson. Head of the Lubavitcher movement for forty-four years and referred to throughout the world simply as "the Rebbe," Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who died in June 1994, was a sage and a visionary of the highest order.
Although the Rebbe's teachings are firmly anchored in over two thousand years of scholarship, he applies age-old truths to contemporary life, showing us how to prepare ourselves to enter the new millennium. The Rebbe teaches and embodies a distinctly universal message, calling for all humankind to lead productive and virtuous lives, and for unity between all men and women and all nations.

Inclusion and the Power of the Individual
By Rabbi Ari Sollish
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, The Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righteous memory, was a pioneer in inclusion.
At a time when expulsion was the norm, when people with disabilities were essentially locked out of "mainstream" schools, the workforce, and society at large, when families with loved ones who were not deemed "typical" often splintered due to social pressures and stigma, the Rebbe sdvocated and called for inclusion. With love, compassion, and respect, the Rebbe drew in those whom society all too often pushed away.
perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the Rebbe's approach to inclusion was how perfectly natural it was to him. The Rebbe's call for inclusion did not result from the latest medical studies, societal shifts, or external pressures; it came from within.
Inclusion and the Power of the Individual tells a remarkable story of the Rebbe's perspective on, and advocacy for, inclusion by recounting his teachings, writings, and conversations on this topic throughout the four decades of his public leadershipof the Chabad-Lubavitch movement.

In Good Hands
By Uri Kaploun
100 letters and talks of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson on the subject of Bitachon: Trusting in G-d.
In this world, people sometimes feel alone; G-d seems to be hiding His Face. Thus it was that thousands of forlorn strugglers, groping in the dark for the Hand of the Divine Shepherd, poured out their hearts to the Rebbe with the request that he help them find their bearings. The letters in response, whether simplistic or philosophical, are candid, but always compassionate. Above all, they empower their readers with a rock-solid trust that even at such times they are in good hands.

Torah Studies- A Parsha Anthology
By Rabbi Jonathan Sacks- Chief Rabbi of Britain
Discourses by Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, The Lubavitcher Rebbe.
A Torah discourse of the Lubavitcher Rebbe usually revolves around a question, sometimes a seemingly microscopic tension serving as a point of departure for the Rebbe's discussion. To hear or read such a discussion is to undertake a journey in which we are challenged and forced to move, and, at the end, stand far from where we began. Here, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi of Great Britain, serves as a guide to that journey, elucidating the question in each discourse and explaining its context. In this collection of lucid adaptations of the Rebbe's talks on the weekly Torah readings and Jewish holidays, each question is not only resolved but also revealed to be the starting point of a major spiritual search - a journey to the inner sanctum of Torah. With descriptive introductions to each chapter and extensive indexes, Torah studies is an important gateway to the Rebbe's teaching and legacy

Universal Values
The Divine Code
By Rabbi Moshe Weiner
The Guide to Observing G-d's Will for Mankind, Revealed from Mount Sinai in the Torah of Moses.
World-wide interest in the Seven Commandments for the Children of Noah (all non-Jews) is growing rapidly, and great numbers of people around the world have already committed themselves to observe these commandments. However, until the publication of this landmark volume, a comprehensive, clear, and expertly researched English-language guide for observance and study of these Divine precepts has been lacking.
The Divine Code Vol. I, is the result of an historic project by Ask Noah International. Originally compiled in Hebrew by Rabbi Moshe Weiner and endorsed by prominent Torah scholars, including both Chief Rabbis of Israel, it examines the Torah-law foundations and details of the Noahide precepts. Unique among the previous popular overviews of the subject, this authoritative text is footnoted with extensively researched Talmudic and post-Talmudic sources. It identifies and applies the fundamental principles by which the practical requirements for righteous living are determined for pious non-Jews.
