Shalom Chevreh -
I thought you might be interested in this for some summer reading suggestions. The coordinator of a Jewish Mindfulness class I've taught in Marin County was sweet enough to collect all the books and a few articles I've recommended over the past year, and organize them into a list. Enjoy!
