The Kabbalistic Series: Infinity, Emanation, Souls and the Repair of the World, (Paperback)

<i>The Kabbalistic Series: Infinity, Emanation, Souls and the Repair of the World</i> continues <i>Judaica</i>, the series devoted to the Jewish textual, legal, historical and symbolic tradition. This fourth volume introduces Qabbalah not as occultism, abstraction or spiritual exoticism, but as one of the most radical forms of Jewish intelligence: the hidden reading through which Torah, language, commandments, soul, exile and history are understood as signs of invisible relation.<br>The volume guides the reader through the full architecture of the kabbalistic world: biblical visions and rabbinic secrecy; <i>Merkavah</i> and <i>Heikhalot</i> ascent; <i>Sefer Yetzirah</i> and the letters of creation; <i>Sefer ha-Bahir</i> and the first symbolic brightness; medieval <i>Qabbalah</i> in Provence, Gerona and Castile; the <i>Zohar</i> as mystical Midrash and divine body of <i>Torah</i>; the ten <i>Sefirot</i>, <i>Ein</i> <i>Sof</i> and the <i>Shekhinah</i>; Safed, Cordovero, Luria and Chaim Vital; tzimtzum, broken vessels, fallen sparks, reincarnation and tikkun; Hasidic devotion from the Ba'al Shem Tov to <i>Tanya</i>; ecstatic techniques, practical <i>Qabbalah</i>, amulets, divine names, polemics, modern scholarship and the many receptions of <i>Qabbalah</i> outside Judaism.<br>Its central thesis is clear: <i>Qabbalah</i> is not an escape from Judaism, but Judaism read at maximum symbolic intensity. The biblical word is not abandoned; it is entered. The commandment is not spiritualized away; it becomes a vessel of repair. The soul is not reduced to psychology; it becomes descent, memory, failure and return. Exile is not only political displacement; it reaches into the <i>Shekhinah</i>. Creation is not only origin; in Lurianism it becomes rupture awaiting restoration.<br>Written for readers who may be encountering Jewish mysticism for the first time, this volume offers a rigorous and accessible entrance into the kabbalistic form of intelligence: to read the visible as sign of the invisible, the letter as energy, the name as presence, the world as fracture, and human action as the work of repair.
