About this title: Only one of the world's mythologies has remained essentially unrecognized - the mythology of Judaism. As Howard Schwartz reveals in "Tree of Souls", the first anthology of Jewish mythology in English, this mythical tradition is as rich and as fascinating as any in the world. Drawing from the Bible, "The Pseudepigrapha", "The Talmud and Midrash", the kabbalistic literature, medieval folklore, Hasidic texts, and oral lore collected in the modern era, Schwartz has gathered together nearly 700 of the key Jewish myths. The myths themselves are marvelous. We read of Adam's diamond and the Land of ...

"A must-have desk companion for anyone interested in ancient Judaism, Torah, Talmud, Pseudopigrapha. Fascinating, bizarre, and amazing. Great index as well."
"Oh, God !...This is a very inspiring book though it takes years to read it thoroughly , a very comprehensive guide to Jewish mythology and the first step to Kabbalah! I really like the style of author here, both in classifications and the wording, very clear and straight to the point! Yet , I have a big problem with the Hebrew terminology , it puts the scholars in a big trouble ! Oh God can we find a simple book about kabbalah with less Hebrew words? It sounds impossible to me !"
"This book, more like 5 books in one, was amazing. A deep and wide collection of jewish myths and tales, and the history behind each one. I was smitten by this book."
