The Seventh Telling The Kabbalah of Moeshe Kapan [Paperback]

The Seventh Tellingis a journey into the Kabbalah, a spiritual discipline hidden within the folds of Jewish history. Stephanie and Sidney have been studying with Moshe Katan, a kabbalist who shared his learning only when he perceived that a kabbalistic intervention might be necessary to save the life of Rivkah, his wife. What has happened to Moshe and Rivkah we do not know, only that their house is now being used for an extraordinary storytelling, a spiritual discipline to share with those willing to risk examining the very core of their beliefs.

You are dead to me, Stephanie's father told her when she married Sidney thirty years before. There had been no contact in all that time, until her mother died, and then only a terse note.
So begins a journey into the Kabbalah, the spiritual discipline hidden until recently within the folds of Jewish history. While her husband tells the stories of the framework of the Kabbalah, Stephanie discovers and reveals secrets buried since biblical times. She takes enormous risks to tie the fabric of her life together when it seems certain it will tear apart.
The Seventh Tellingmay be read for its narrative and romantic value alone, but if the reader so desires, this brief guide will assist him or her in unraveling some of the novel's secrets.
