Short but sweet

As in his monumental work ' Jewish Spiritual Practices' Yitzhak Buxbaum provides help in deepening our connection with Hashem. He teaches how prayer can be made most meaningful. Short but very sweet.

book to a happier jewish life

This book is really illuminating and spiritually uplifting. It helps you find more spirituality in traditional Judaism. It will definitely open your heart as his other books also do. The book is written in a simple and clear language. Enjoy it.

a deceptively short book with a wealth of teaching

This book is easy to read and user-friendly. The ideas presented are easily incorporated into any life-style and type of prayer. The author's approach is non-threatening, open-minded, and modern and traditional at the same time. The suggestions are specific, concrete, and well-defined, although the subject matter is highly individual and hardly ever discussed. I recommend it to anyone looking to connect to a higher power through prayer and meditation.
