Shalom, several people ask me for titles of the books I used in couple of my sermons on Yumkipur recommended reading so I just wanted to suggest into you. The first is I have talked about this in some other videos, how to think like Leonardo De Vinci. In my sermons referred to the seven steps that this author, his name is Michael Gelb suggest that we can learn to think more like De Vinci, step number one is curiosity, asking questions and step number four is using there senses. So that is an interesting book, how to think like Leonardo De Vinci. This book getting our groove back by Scott Shay, I talked about with suggestions about how to improve American life. My take on that was excellent suggestion, they will leave out the most important which is developing a clones or relationship with God but with reading, How to get our groove back.
This is not epically Jewish book but very important why good things happen to good people and the author is Dr Steven Post and Gil Nemark and brings together a lot of research validating the Jewish idea that charity saves form death. Well the positive things that happen from people who give and help, in fact he suggest that if you think the aspect and it protects your heart, giving and helping, protects your overall health twice as much. I talked about a book that is already years old, the gift of the Jews by Thomas Cahill. The author of the Irish saves civilization and this book he talks about how basically everything holy and precious and wonderful about western civilization came form the Hebrew bible. He says this book opens up to path of western history. Enabling us all to trace our culture heritage back to its ultimate source, the religious ideas and feelings of ancient Israel. Why do you not study Judaism more if the key to western civilization is in the Hebrew bible.
The most important one is the classic Maimonides Mission to Torah. This is a one volume edition called Maimonides code of law and ethics introduction by Philip Birnbaum. It is a 14 volume work. This is just one obliged volume of it and I specifically talked about the laws of repentance and also his view of the messianic era. So those are just some of the books I talked about it in the high holidays, pieces of them, valuable reading.
