TAROT/KABBALAHKabbalistic Tarot is an introduction to the ancient kabbalistic origins and meanings of the tarot that reveals the intimate relationship of the tarot to the esoteric teachings of the Torah. When the Greeks invaded Israel and forbade study of the Torah, the Jewish people began a secret method of Toranic study that appeared to be merely a simple way to fill time: playing cards. These first tarot decks enabled study of the Torah without detection. Once the Maccabees expelled the Greeks from Israel and Israel once again became a Jewish kingdom, tarot cards dropped from sight. Fifteen hundred years later, in response to political and religious persecutions, and ultimately the Inquisition, the cards resurfaced as a secret learning tool of the Torah. The author shows the correspondence between the 22 Major Arcana cards and the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet and how the four suits correlate with the levels of the four kabbalistic worlds: Atzilut (Soul), Briah (Intellect), Yetzirah (Emotions), and Asiyah (Action). He explores the kabbalistic meanings of each of the 78 cards and provides insight into the Tree of Life spread through detailed kabbalistic readings. DOVID KRAFCHOW has studied Kabbalah and practiced the tarot for more than thirty years. He began his study of the Torah at the Hadar Hatorah Institute for Rabbinical Studies in Brooklyn, New York, and lived for ten years in Zefat, Israel, the city where the Kabbalah was received by the Ari Zal (Rabbi Isaac Luria) 500 years ago. He lives in northern California.

The Other Side is a collection of short stories concerning the spiritual condition of the Jewish People. These eleven stories mirror a time when the travails of life were easier to understand.

This necklace of stories ties together through a common thread pervading every Jewish experience. From Russia to America, from a cowboy to flower child, from a fat man to a righteous man, upon the sea or at the edge of death--The Other Side offers a unique perspective.

The enigma of the Cabala is proof this ancient discipline has yet to be corrupted by religion or academia. This pristine flow of knowledge, an ethereal river meandering through the contours of one's imagination, is applicable to all situations. Deciphering the Labyrinth of Life infuses this knowledge using the trademarks of our time: science, politics, drugs, pornography, the Middle East. Deciphering the Labyrinth of Life explains, social phenomenon like the pervasive use of the term 420, the cosmological choreography of the planets and the intrinsic meaning of the cross. Lastly, Deciphering the Labyrinth of Life reveals the historical and spiritual truth about Jesus, giving a quick glimpse into an amazing future.

There conundrum of time has confounded both mystics and scientists alike. What is time? How does time move without ever stopping? Where did time and how did time originate? These seemingly unanswerable questions are the bread and butter of the Cabala. This ancient Jewish knowledge uncovers the source of time, revealing time's secret and elucidating time's cyclical purpose. Beyond past, present and future is God Time; these four distinct states of time correspond to the four elements of fire, air, water and earth and the four spiritual planes illuminated by the Four Letter Name of God. The symmetry of time of space is the loom upon which each moment of reality is woven.
