In New Age Judaism: Ancient Wisdom
for the Modern World (Simcha Press;
$9.95), Melinda Ribner connects age-

many of the beliefs and practices with
which we associate the New Age are
not new but part of Kabbalah, the
Jewish mystical tradition.
For anyone seeking spiritual nour-
ishment, this book is a practical guide
providing a synthesis
of traditional Judaism
and New Age thought.
Ribner is a psychother-
ANC.1k- NT Ve, irn,
apist in private prac-
rice, and director and
founder of the Jewish
Meditation Circle in
New York.
