Hilda Rader’s 1989 first edition, To Touch the Divine: A Jewish Mysticism Primer, offers newcomers a clear, welcoming path into centuries of Jewish mystical thought. This hardcover primer balances scholarship with accessible language, making kabbalistic concepts feel relevant to modern spiritual seekers.
Published by Empire Press and preserved in its original dust jacket, this copy remains in very good shape—pages are clean, binding tight, and no marks, smoke odors, or dog-eared corners intrude on your reading peace. A textbook-grade volume that feels inviting rather than academic.
Collectors prize first printings of Rader’s concise guide, especially when the jacket survives this well. Whether you’re building a comparative-religion shelf, leading an adult-education class, or simply curious about Jewish mysticism, this gently used volume delivers quiet inspiration without the usual ex-library flaws.
