Soul Searching compares ancient Jewish teachings and contemporary research on the subject of the afterlife and finds startling parallels between them. Study of the phenomena of near-death experiences and the discovery, under hypnosis, of past lives, and delving into the teachings of the Sages of the Talmud and the Kabbalah, leads to the realization that only with a deeper understanding of death can life be truly appreciated.
