It can help with important decisions about everything from sex and drugs to education and a future career, as well as helping to foster self- esteem, overcome loneliness and reveal the light.

KABBALAH FOR TEENS

In an easy-to-read style, the author outlines the ten principles of Kabbalah, showing teens how they can apply these to their daily life. Each chapter explains a concept, or "Sefirah," then shows teens how they can use that concept in order to make good choices for themselves. Belmont has written a sort of a self-help book which teens and adults who are interested in the Kabbalah on this level, as a "deeply spiritual system," will enjoy reading. With the heightened interest in the subject, thanks to such personalities as Madonna and Deepak Chopra, this will be a useful purchase as a beginning introduction to Kabbalah. The author is a life-long student of Kabbalah, and stresses that the principles aren't easy, but that studying it "can provide a set of tools for making one's life better in every way." Recommended for ages 12 and up. Reviewed by Andrea Davidson

Excellent introduction to Kabbalah

It's rare to find an author who knows how to write for adolescents without talking down to them. In this fine work, Belmont ably demonstrates not only his deep and thorough understanding of Kabbalistic principles and teachings, but an empathy and respect for his audience that goes far beyond the levels attained by most authors writing for young adults. Belmont draws compelling connections between traditional Biblical and Kabbalistic tales and the contemporarily-set stories with which he peppers each chapter. The book's organization, with each chapter relating to a different sefirah of the Tree of Life, makes it easy to follow and understand without undermining its ability to communicate sophisticated philosophical and spiritual concepts. This book is highly recommended for anyone with a budding interest in the popular study of Kabbalah, teen or adult.
