"Yitzhak Buxbaum's Jewish Tales of Mystic Joy clearly shows that faith brings joy. His book is filled with Hasidic stories that inspire one to appreciate all that is good in one's life and that guide one on an ascent in the path to joy."
— Joseph Telushkin, author, Jewish Literacy and The Book of Jewish Values

'Read these tales of mystic joy out loud and hear them as if Reb Yitzhak Buxbaum is telling them. They are made for the ear that responds to the Sh'ma Yisrael. Let each tale rest on your heart, so that when your heart opens it will drop in and find a place in your memory and awareness."
— Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi
