Others I would recommend: “The Essential Kabblah,” by Daniel Matt; “God is a Verb,” by David Cooper; “Jewish Mystical Testimonies,” by Louis Jacobs; “Kabbalah / The Mystic Quest,” by David Ariel; Kabbalah / New Perspectives,” by Mose Idel; Kabbalah / The Way of…,” by Perle Epstein; “Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism,” by Gershom Scholem; “Meditation and the Kabbalah,” by Aryeh Kaplan; “Sacred Therapy,” by Estelle Frankel; and “The Work of the Kabbalist,” by Shimon Halevi.

Each takes a very different approach to understanding the mystical teachings fo Judaism. I suggest staying away from books by the Berg family of the Kabbalah Centre here in Los Angeles.
