Here is what some reviewers have said of Chambers of the Palace.

“I thoroughly enjoyed The Chambers of the Palace. The editing and translations are superb – kol hakavod!”—R. Lazer Brody

"For those seeking an entrance into the realm of Jewish spiritual and mystical teachings, there is no better guide than Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav. Nor is there a better introduction to Rabbi Nachman's teachings than The Chambers of the Palace. In this beautifully translated work, Shulman has selected the essential teachings from a vast library of writings and organized them into 42 primary categories”—Howard Schwartz (Gabriel's Palace, Elijah's Violin, et al.), St. Louis-Post Dispatch.

"A scholarly, well-researched, well-written contribution to Judaic studies”—Wisconsin Bookwatch.

Again, send me an email and I'll let you know when the book becomes available.

The Cessation of Being

Each one of us has to see to it that we become assimilated into the root of who we are, to return and be assimilated into the oneness of God, Who is the One Reality.

This can be achieved only when we make ourselves totally stop, when we cease our being. And we can only come to this cessation through hisbodedus. When we are in seclusion with God, we can cause all desires and bad traits to cease. We can cling to God and be drawn into the root of who we are.
