Publisher's Summary

If you want to explore Jewish mysticism, then pay attention....

Jewish mysticism is a powerful study within the Jewish tradition. Rooted in antiquity and veiled in mystery until quite recently, Jewish mysticism has burst into the modern world in guises both illuminating and bewildering.

Throughout Jewish history, flashes of the light held within sacred texts have sparked the sages' inquisitive minds throughout the diaspora. Rising out of the ashes of the temples once standing in Jerusalem, the texts and theologies associated with Jewish mysticism have comforted and ecstatically raise those who have used their knowledge.

In this audiobook, we'll review key texts, including:

  • Sefir ha Behir
  • Sefir Yetzirah
  • Ma'aseh Merkavah and the accompanying Heikhalot literature

But in examining these texts, we'll also delve into the historical contexts in which they were written and how they served as spiritual responses to the tribulations of the Jewish people, interpreted by those who wrote and disseminated them.

You’ll discover fascinating things along way:

  • You'll meet some great sages, chief among them the father of Lurianic Kabbalah, Isaac Luria, his disciple Moses de Leon, and the great Moses Cordovero.
  • You'll meet the sefirot and be introduced to their mysteries as the emanations of the divine.
  • You'll see how spiritually powerful texts can be abused through popularization. This always concerned the Kabbalistic sages and is the reason for the traditionally limited transmission of Kabbalah.

This audiobook provides a detailed introduction to the fascinating world of Jewish mysticism and the community most closely associated with it.

Bring your curiosity and questions and open the door to the mysteries of this vibrant corner of the Jewish world.

Buy now, and step into the fascinating world of Jewish Mysticism.

Get someone who can pronounce Kabbalistic terms in a book on Kabbalah

Some things I’d question, but that could be intellectual debate.

What is inconceivable is the reader’s absolute inability to pronounce words related to central concepts making them unintelligible.

This would be a good primer in the area if it wasn’t for the reader’s ability to misguide the listener.

If I was the author, I would ask you to re-record it.
