Jewish Mysticism: Kabbalah Drawn From the Source

Jewish mysticism — Kabbalah — is the tradition’s map of how the Infinite meets a finite world. Not the celebrity version, and not the occult one: the real thing, drawn from Sefer Yetzirah and the source texts, read slowly.

“The decade out of nothing has ten infinitudes: the beginning infinite, the end infinite, the good infinite, the evil infinite, the height infinite, the depth infinite, the East, West, North and South infinite.” — Sefer Yetzirah (Kalisch 1877) Sefer Yetzirah 5

Everything below is drawn from authentic Jewish sources — Sefer Yetzirah, Sefer HaBahir, and the Tanakh — and cited to its origin. Reflections, not rulings.
