Title: Turn aside from evil and do good
First published: 1995
Description: Turn Aside from Evil was written by Zevi Hirsch Eichenstein (1763-1831), a Hasidic master and skilled adept in Lurianic kabbalah, to guide his followers on how to live a saintly life. He discusses not only practical aspects of kabbalah but also how to conduct one's business affairs in a way compatible with a saintly life, and how such a way of life is in no way incompatible with enthusiasm for marital relations.

Rabbi Dr Louis Jacob's lively translation gives the reader an insight into the thinking of a remarkable Hasidic master. His extensive introduction and detailed notes make kabbalistic ideas and imagery accessible and clarify the sources to which the author alludes.
