I would recommend essays by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan:

-          If you were God : immortality and the soul : a world of love : three 
works [New York, N.Y. : NCSY/Orthodox Union, c1983]

-          Immortality, resurrection and the age of the universe : a 
kabbalistic view [Hoboken, N.J. : Ktav Pub. in association with Orthodox Jewish 
Scientists, 1993]

I've been asked to recommend a good book on the Jewish belief in the soul.  The 
request was from a mentally sharp older man on hospice, so I'm looking for 
something that's not highly academic, but is intelligent, readable but doesn't 
talk down.  He is not Orthodox.

I'd really appreciate ideas!
