Jewish Mysticism

The Ultimate Guide to Understanding Kabbalah, Merkabah Mysticism, and Ashkenazi Hasidism

De: Mari Silva

Narrado por: Ivan Busenius

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.

Solid, honest, and approachable

It is tough for me to rate this book because I have been thinking of Jewish Mysticism for a while; therefore, I do not understand how plain it would be for a novice. Mari appears to be very conscious and enlightened on the topic and as a result, I would suggest it.

A lot of information is in it.

A light book to further explain the method of Kabbalah, assisting us in taking the next step in our development towards spirituality. If you have any problems with the purpose of life, I would deeply recommend this book.

The Standard Text on Jewish Mysticism

I asked my friend who is a Conservative author for one work on the subject of Jewish Mysticism and he recommended this one. So I listening to it. It's is def. trustworthy and full of careful scholarship.

GREAT GUIDE

We are using this audiobook for a class on Jewish Mysticism and it provides the group lots of food for meditation.

Love this book

Though the book discusses the most essential and important question in man's life, what is the purpose of creation, I couldn't stop listening to it once I started. This audiobook gave me a good understanding of the wisdom of Kabbalah and made me hungry for more. I really liked it!

packed with good techniques

I bought this audiobook for my teenage daughter. She has taken an interest in spirit guides. So far she is just loving this book and giving what she's learning to her friends.

strangeness of Jewish mystical spirituality.

This helps to explain the diversity including near-surrealist strangeness of Jewish mystical spirituality. mystics visualized the Physical body of God: His sidearms so many billion miles long, and so on. Health visionaries ascended to graduated Heavenly Palaces a practice St. Paul must have been familiar with.

THE Modern Classic of Kabbalah

Gershom Scholem transformed Kabbalah into an acceptable academic discipline. Today many authors/scholars/professors follow in his footsteps. It should be noted, however, that he was a cassette professional nor Kabbalist. He appears to have faithfully presented Kabbalistic doctrines, teachings, etc.

Very good academic history,

This was a very interesting audible, although its stature as a classic led me to believe that it would be a bit closer to a “Jewish Mysticism for Dummies” than it ended up being. The work was composed in Hebrew, presumably for audiences who have a familiarity with the Torah

THE BEST GUIDE

The theme book is simple to digest, and the heavy-duty technical viewpoints found in some of Mari's books are not present here. Every thought is good fully defined and described, and the book leaves you questing for more. REALLY THE BEST GUIDE.
