The book is an introduction to the origin of the spiritual side of Judaism. It is divided into five sections dealing with the Bible (first 2 sections); the spiritual and mystical ways that Jews and God communicate with each other; mystical texts such as the Kabbalah the Zohar as well as other aspects of mystical Judaism; and finally some of the intriguing aspects of Judaism such as Gematria (replacing Hebrew letters with numbers).
