'This book is a sequel to Understanding Jewish Mysticism (Vol. I). In it, the author presents more original texts in translation, some of them never having appeared before in print. Unit I presents texts from the philosophic-mystical tradition, including Maimonides, a Yemenite author, and Abraham Abulafia. Unit II presents texts from the Hasidic tradition, including stories, Hasidic prayer texts, and essays about various Hasidic rebbes. The author concludes the book with his own speculation on the future of Jewish mysticism...'
