  shaarei kedusha: The Oxford Handbook of Meditation Miguel Farias, David Brazier, Mansur Lalljee, 2021-10-21 Meditation techniques, including mindfulness, have become popular wellbeing practices and the scientific study of their effects has recently turned 50 years old. But how much do we know about them: what were they developed for and by whom? How similar or different are they, how effective can they be in changing our minds and biology, what are their social and ethical implications? The Oxford Handbook of Meditation is the most comprehensive volume published on meditation, written in accessible language by world-leading experts on the science and history of these techniques. It covers the development of meditation across the world and the varieties of its practices and experiences. It includes approaches from various disciplines, including psychology, neuroscience, history, anthropology, and sociology and it explores its potential for therapeutic and social change, as well as unusual or negative effects. Edited by practitioner-researchers, this book is the ultimate guide for all interested in meditation, including teachers, clinicians, therapists, researchers, or anyone who would like to learn more about this topic.
  shaarei kedusha: Shomer Emunim Rabbi Yosef Ergas, Avinoam Fraenkel, 2025-03-25 This book is for those: intrigued by the Arizal's (Lurianic) Kabbalah, confused by the debates over Kabbalah's authenticity, fascinated by how centuries-old Kabbalistic ideas converge with modern science, challenged by how the technological changes around us fit in with Torah and Kabbalah, desiring resolution of the ongoing debates over key ideas in Jewish thought, curious to understand exactly who and what the Messiah is. Of the few genuine introductions to Kabbalah, Shomer Emunim stands out prominently for its clarity, brevity and accessibility. Penned in the late 1720s by the master Italian Kabbalist, Rabbi Yosef Ergas, its virtues have been extolled by Kabbalists of note ever since. Shomer Emunim powerfully responds to those who claim Kabbalah was fabricated. It also explains Kabbalistic concepts simply, dispelling the illegitimate views of those encouraging blasphemous religious compromise by distorting those concepts. The original Shomer Emunim Hebrew text, together with its complete, facing-page, English translation and commentary, is presented in an innovative and easily digestible format. This e-book contains words in Hebrew which may not display correctly on all e-reader devices.

  shaarei kedusha: Kabbalistic Teachings of the Female Prophets J. Zohara Meyerhoff Hieronimus, 2008-07-21 The spiritual teachings of Israel’s biblical prophetesses from a kabbalistic perspective • Explores the lives and symbolic significance of seven female prophets: Sarah, Miriam, Devorah, Chanah, Avigail, Chuldah, and Esther • Uses the gematria of Jewish metaphysics to demonstrate that prophecy is a mystical initiatory path by which Divine Will is made known, not only a tool for telling the future • Presents practical applications of kabbalistic teachings for spiritual development The seven prophetesses of Israel--Sarah, Miriam, Devorah, Chanah, Avigail, Chuldah, and Esther--lived between 1800 and 350 BCE. Their combined lives reflect a kabbalistic path of spiritual evolution that is as pertinent to our lives today as it was for the biblical communities in which they lived. From her studies of the Torah and classical gematria, Zohara Hieronimus shows that each prophetess is linked to a Sefirah on the kabbalistic Tree of Life: from creation (Sarah) through learning correct moral action (Devorah) to the promise of redemption and ultimately resurrection (Esther). Using the stories of their lives and teachings, Hieronimus reveals the relationship of each prophetess to the seven days of the week, the seven sacred species of Israel, the human body, and Jewish holidays and rituals. This book presents the kabbalistic teachings of these holy women and what they reveal about the initiatory path of individual development and redemption. The seven prophetesses show that every person has a part to play in the repair of the world, and Hieronimus gives a practical set of maps and spiritual guidelines for that journey.
  shaarei kedusha: Sanctuary of the Divine Presence J. Zohara Meyerhoff Hieronimus, 2012-03-26 Kabbalistic initiatory teachings for becoming a vessel for illumination, prophecy, and peace by creating an inner dwelling place for God’s divine presence • Reveals practices for self mastery and revelation based on the holy design of the first Hebrew Sanctuary, the lives of the Hebrew Prophets, and the Tree of Life • Shows how the Tree of Life’s ten sefirot correspond to the Torah’s prophetic Ten Songs of Creation; to alchemical ritual practices of fire, water, air, and earth; and to specific parts of the body, emotions, and aspects of the soul Many synagogues and churches, including the First and Second Temples of the Hebrews, follow an archetypal design first used in the Ohel Moed, or Tent of Meeting, and its sacred Tabernacle, which housed the Ark of the Covenant and the Ten Commandments. Drawing from a wealth of sources including the Hebrew Bible, the oral Mishnaic tradition of Judaism, and 16th-century Judaic texts, Zohara Hieronimus explains how, like the Ohel Moed, we are designed to receive and reflect the divine qualities of the Creator. Exploring the kabbalistic initiatory teachings within the Chassidic tradition of Judaism and the lives and writings of the Hebrew prophets, she reveals how our physical and spiritual worlds are not separate but interdependent, one affecting the other, often in unexpected and sometimes miraculous ways. Examining the ten-part system of Kabbalah’s Tree of Life as reflected in the holy design of the Hebrews’ first Sanctuary, Hieronimus shows how the Tree of Life’s ten sefirot correspond to the Torah’s prophetic Ten Songs of Creation; to alchemical ritual practices of fire, water, air, and earth; and to specific parts of the body, emotions, and aspects of the soul. Starting from Malchut (Kingdom) at the bottom of the Tree of Life and ascending to Keter (Crown) at the top, the author discusses related biblical and scholarly texts and traditional Hebrew practices and teachings that can lead to spiritual enlightenment, illumination, and peace, allowing each of us to become a sanctuary for God’s presence through self-refinement, ritual devotion, and prayer, as practiced since biblical times.
  shaarei kedusha: Hasidism Incarnate Shaul Magid, 2014-12-10 Hasidism Incarnate contends that much of modern Judaism in the West developed in reaction to Christianity and in defense of Judaism as a unique tradition. Ironically enough, this occurred even as modern Judaism increasingly dovetailed with Christianity with regard to its ethos, aesthetics, and attitude toward ritual and faith. Shaul Magid argues that the Hasidic movement in Eastern Europe constitutes an alternative modernity, one that opens a new window on Jewish theological history. Unlike Judaism in German lands, Hasidism did not develop under a Christian gaze and had no need to be apologetic of its positions. Unburdened by an apologetic agenda (at least toward Christianity), it offered a particular reading of medieval Jewish Kabbalah filtered through a focus on the charismatic leader that resulted in a religious worldview that has much in common with Christianity. It is not that Hasidic masters knew about Christianity; rather, the basic tenets of Christianity remained present, albeit often in veiled form, in much kabbalistic teaching that Hasidism took up in its portrayal of the charismatic figure of the zaddik, whom it often described in supernatural terms.
  shaarei kedusha: Kabbalah Jewish Mysticism Nabil Onsy, 2024-11-15 In my pursuit to enrich the library with works that shed light on Jewish Mysticism, including the profound esoteric wisdom of Kabbalah, I gathered my pens and papers, I devoted myself to translating these texts over an extended period, hoping that my efforts would bear meaningful fruit, It is my heartfelt desire that every seeker of knowledge may find both benefit and inspiration within these pages. Jewish Mysticism seeks an intimate encounter with God, with roots deeply embedded in history. However, organized Jewish Mysticism began in France and Spain. Kabbalah strives to bridge the gap between the material world we inhabit and the God realm, aiming to create harmony between them. Central to Kabbalah are the ten Sefirot (עשר סְפִירוֹת), which form the foundation of this mystical tradition. These Sefirot represent the Ten Divine Emanations (האצלה) or the Ten Divine Transfigurations. The first Kabbalistic book is Sefer HaBahir (ספר הבהיר / Book of Illumination), which emerged in Provence at the end of the 12th century CE. The principal book of Kabbalah, however, is Sefer HaZohar (ספר הזוהר / Book of Splendor), which appeared at the end of the 13th century CE. The significance of Ha Zohar grew especially after the expulsion of the Jews from Spain. Following the expulsions at the beginning of the 16th century, the city of Safed became the spiritual center of the Jewish people, surpassing Jerusalem. Many great Kabbalists gathered there, among whom Rabbi Isaac ben Solomon Luria (יצחק בן שלמה לוריא ), known by the acronym Ha'ari (הארי), was the most prominent. Another key figure was Rabbi Moses ben Jacob Cordovero (משה קוֹרְדוֹבֵירוֹ ), known as Ramak (רמ״ק). These scholars focused primarily on the soul and astrology and played a crucial role in making Kabbalah accessible beyond the nobility, transforming it into a teaching for all. Since then, Safed has remained the enduring city of Kabbalah.
  shaarei kedusha: Mystical Traditions Muhammad Shafiq, Thomas Donlin-Smith, 2023-05-16 This book discusses mysticism and its possible contributions to a positive common human future. It is organized into three parts - “Studies of Mystical Traditions,” “Comparative Studies of Mystical Traditions,” and “Social and Ethical Implications. The approach is philosophical and critical. The contributors differ on whether or not mystical traditions would restore peaceful living and peaceful coexistence. However, the problem before this manuscript is the growing pain and suffering caused by greed in the world, greed causing economic disequilibrium, racism and divisiveness causing social unrest resulting in mass migration and refugees’ crisis. Through the lens of “mystical traditions, the manuscript proposes a balance approach between material and spiritual needs of people. To strengthen human spiritualty, the manuscript emphasizes practicing meditation, music, prayers, zikr, yoga, mindfulness, fasting and other methods of spiritual revival for peace within self and with others.

  shaarei kedusha: Discovering the Torah Josef Bláha, 2018-07-12 Judaism in Spain had a long and rich history. The Jews were part of Spain, even if they were often persecuted and in the year 1492 they were expelled. The Jewish population was very prolific in Poetry,1 Philosophy,2 in especially religious poetry3. It is important to say that the Jewish Mysticism in Europe has had one of its oldest centers in Gerona in northern Spain. Rabbi Moses ben Nahman4, Rabbi Azriel5, and many other Kabbalists were among the first in Europe who interpreted the Torah in the way of the Kabbalah. The Revolution in the Spanish Kabbalah came with Rabbi Moshe de Leon (1240–1305). In the time of his youth, he read The Guide of the Perplexed by Maimonides.6 Moshe de Leon was however more and more attracted by the mystical understanding of the Torah. He is often considered as the main author of the Zohar. Meanwhile after Gershom Scholem thought that he was probably the main author of the Zohar, modern Scholars of the Kabbalah concluded that the composition of the Zohar was much more complicated.7 The Zohar is in fact the first kabbalistic commentary on the Torah. The translation of this book into English by Daniel C. Matt was an outstanding enterprise. The Zohar became the third canonical text of Judaism, only after the Hebrew Scriptures and the Talmud. With the book – printing there came a revolution in the distribution of the Zohar. 1

  shaarei kedusha: Mindfulness and Meditation for Adolescents Betsy L. Wisner, 2017-07-10 This book describes mindfulness and meditation practices and programs for adolescents by situating the topic in a bio-psychosocial-cultural approach. Using this framework, the benefits of these practices and programs for adolescents— with an emphasis on evidence-based practices—are explored. In addition to programs based on mindfulness, meditation programs using Transcendental Meditation, Herbert Benson’s Relaxation Response, and the Center for Mind Body Medicine’s group programs are discussed. The book is targeted toward educators, mental health professionals, researchers, and graduate students interested in the application, development, and study of mindfulness and meditation practices and programs for adolescents.
  shaarei kedusha: The Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism Israel Gutwirth, 2021-03-23 This authoritative study of the Kabbalah celebrates the history and wisdom of Jewish mysticism while dispelling popular misconceptions. In recent decades, the Kabbalah has aroused widespread interest well beyond the realm of Jewish scholarship. Unfortunately, this popularization has also led to numerous distortions of Jewish mystical doctrine, with some alleged experts drawing on material other than original Jewish sources. In The Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism, acclaimed Torah scholar Israel Gutwirth provides an essential corrective to this trend. Here is a retrospective look at the major figures of Jewish mysticism and the parts they played in shaping the Jewish religion. Divided into three parts, this volume examines the significance of the Zohar and the great Jewish mystics, Hasidic leaders who were distinguished exponents of the Kabbalah, and notable figures of the golden age of Jewish culture in Spain.
  shaarei kedusha: Building Blocks of the Soul Matityahu Glazerson, 1996-12-01 In this intensive study of Hebrew letters and words, Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson uses gematria (interpretive Jewish numerology) to reveal the mysterious correlation between Jewish ethics and practices and the numeric values of Hebrew words which name and describe them. This profound and lucid exploration uncovers the deep spiritual resonance of Jewish thought, and explains a variety of theological issues using the ancient Hebrew language as a key to understanding.
  shaarei kedusha: Secrecy and Esoteric Writing in Kabbalistic Literature Jonathan V. Dauber, 2022-08-24 Secrecy and Esoteric Writing in Kabbalistic Literature examines the strategies of esoteric writing that Kabbalists have used to conceal secrets in their writings, such that casual readers will only understand the surface meaning of their texts while those with greater insight will grasp the internal meaning. In addition to a broad description of esoteric writing throughout the long literary history of Kabbalah, this work analyzes kabbalistic secrecy in light of contemporary theories of secrecy. It also presents case studies of esoteric writing in the work of four of the first kabbalistic authors—Abraham ben David, Isaac the Blind, Ezra ben Solomon, and Asher ben David—and thereby helps recast our understanding of the earliest stages of kabbalistic literary history. The book will interest scholars in Jewish mysticism and Jewish philosophy, as well as those working in medieval Jewish history. Throughout, Jonathan V. Dauber has endeavored to write an accessible work that does not require extensive prior knowledge of kabbalistic thought. Accordingly, it finds points of contact between scholars of various religious traditions.

  shaarei kedusha: Kabbalah in America Brian Ogren, 2020-05-06 Kabbalah in America includes chapters from leading experts in a variety of fields and is the first-ever comprehensive treatment of the title subject from colonial times until the present. Until recently, Kabbalah studies have not extensively covered America, despite America’s centrality in modern and contemporary formations. There exist scattered treatments, but no inclusive expositions. This volume most certainly fills the gap. It is comprised of 21 articles in eight sections, including Kabbalah in Colonial America; Nineteenth-Century Western Esotericism; The Nineteenth-Century Jewish Interface; Early Twentieth-Century Rational Scholars; The Post-War Counterculture; Liberal American Denominationalism; Ultra-Orthodoxy, American Hasidism and the ‘Other’; and Contemporary American Ritual and Thought. This volume will be sure to set the tone for all future scholarship on American Kabbalah.
  shaarei kedusha: The Human Challenge Rabbi Avraham Edelstein , 2021-04-19 Every human being is presented with the ''human challenge'': How do I grow? How do I become wise? How do I sanctify the world around me and make it a better place? How do I work on my character? How do I integrate work and food and intimacy into my life's goals? This volume is an attempt to answer these questions for the intelligent and sensitive adult reader. It draws significantly on deeper Jewish thought, balancing brevity with profundity. The Human Challenge provides a rich and exciting entry point for those who are at the early stages of their relationship with Judaism as well as significant benefit to those with an extensive background, as it provides a methodical and sourced overview of topics that may otherwise remain as fragmented insights.
  shaarei kedusha: Energy Healing with the Kabbalah Devi Stern, 2018-05-08 Kabbalistic symbols and the energy exercises 'synch up' amazingly well to create a unique field of high vibration.—Donna Eden, renowned healer, author of Energy Medicine, and creator of Eden Energy Medicine Heal Yourself, Heal the World Combining the mysticism of Kabbalah with energy medicine and physical movement, this hands-on guide presents many unique and user-friendly practices.

  shaarei kedusha: Cábala Michael Chighel, 2022-09-20 Durante décadas se ha debatido sobre el supuesto antisemitismo de Heidegger. En este libro, Michael Chighel ―como ninguna otra voz judía antes― dedica una intensa investigación a las declaraciones de Heidegger sobre el judaísmo, implicándose en la controversia sobre si este mantuvo o no una postura antisemita en los Cuadernos negros. Y llega a sorprendentes conclusiones. Chighel sostiene que, si se analiza el antihumanismo de Heidegger en directa confrontación con el humanismo hebreo, no solo el supuesto antisemitismo heideggeriano se diluye, sino que la «deconstrucción» que el filósofo alemán lleva a cabo de la historia de la filosofía occidental crea el espacio para repensar la tradición judía hoy en día. De este modo no solo se refuta o se neutraliza el presunto antisemitismo de Heidegger, sino que se aprovechan sus aportaciones filosóficas para revitalizar el tesoro de las enseñanzas del judaísmo en el mundo contemporáneo. Así, Cábala ―entendida en su triple significación como tradición, conspiración e hipótesis― es una revisión y una reformulación de las enseñanzas del judaísmo acerca del mundo y del hombre con miras a resaltar la relevancia actual y universal de la tradición judía, a través del pensamiento de Heidegger.
  shaarei kedusha: Ktavim Chadashim - New Writings Chayim Vital, Chaim ben Joseph Vital, Isaac Luria, 2018 Ktavim Chadashim contains many unpublished works by Chaim Vital, the foremost disciple of the Ari (Isaac Luria). Here, for the first time, we publish two main sections in English, which are the commentary on Brit Menucha (Covenant of Rest), and the secret fourth part of Shaarei Kedusha (Gates of Holiness). The commentary on Brit Menucha deals with Kabbalah Ma'asit (Practical Kabbalah). It is much more than a simple commentary, because it contains names of angels that are not found in the original Brit Menucha, along with precise instructions concerning their usage. The fourth part of Shaarei Kedusha deals with the practical ways to force the Ruach Ha-Kodesh (Hooy Spirit) to descend upon us, thus allowing us to reach prophecy and the world to come. Vital even explains the 72 Names of God, with their angels
  shaarei kedusha: You are what You Hate Sarah Schneider, 2009 Enemies hold fallen slivers of our souls, estranged sparks that we do not recognize as pieces of our very own selves. They have chosen us as their opponents because they are trying, in their deluded way, to connect back to their root, which really is us. The spark of ourselves inside the enemy must be recovered...
  shaarei kedusha: Window of the Soul James David Dunn, 2022-09-26 Some four hundred years before Albert Einstein proposed his theory of relativity of the outer universe to the scientific community, a rabbi named Isaac Luria (1534–1572) passed his theory of the inner universe and its evolution to his students. With vision given only to the most gifted of kabbalistic mystics, Luria explained the inner worlds of the spirit and of the evolution that led to the ultimate birth of our cosmos. In a selection of passages from Luria’s Kabbalah that is both universal and stand-alone in transcendental value, Professor James Dunn presents, for the very first time, the essence of the great rabbi’s teachings. According to Luria, the ultimate calling in this lifetime or in future lifetimes is to reharmonize (and hence remove) inherent imperfections through proper heart, and the teachings presented here have just this aim: to help “heal the broken vessel of the world” (tikkun olam). We all long to be healed and whole, and here scholars and lay people alike will find the wisdom they seek.
  shaarei kedusha: Kabbalistic Manuscripts and Textual Theory Daniel Abrams, 2010 Kabbalistic Manuscripts and Textual Theory uncovers the unstated assumptions and expectations of scribes and scholars who fashioned editions from manuscripts of Jewish mystical literature. This study offers a theory of kabbalistic textuality in which the material book the printed page no less than handwritten manuscripts serves as the site for textual dialogue between Jewish mystics of different periods and locations. The refashioning of the text through the process of reading and commenting that takes place on the page in the margins and between the lines blurs the boundaries between the traditionally defined roles of author, reader, commentator and editor. This study shows that kabbalists and academic editors reinvented the text in their own image, as part of a fluid textual process that was nothing short of transformative. This book is certainly monumental, offering in its seven hundred pages a wealth of documentation and distilled argument that manages to be both comprehensive in its materials and transparent in its critical insights. It is rare indeed that a work of such formidable scholarship can actually be a pleasure to read and convincing in its elucidation of what are often extremely complex documentary circumstances and editorial traditions. From the foreword by David Greetham
  shaarei kedusha: Sheva Netivot Ha-Torah Abraham Abulafia, 2007 This book demonstrates the primacy of Kabbalah over every other branch of knowledge. It classifies seven levels of understanding of the Torah, showing what they are and how to reach them.
  shaarei kedusha: An Existentialist Theory of the Human Spirit (Volume 1) Shlomo Giora Shoham, 2020-07-22 This first volume examines how sexual mores and behavior, religious dogma and practice, and artistic creativity and authenticity have influenced, and been influenced by, the existentialist thought of Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Sartre, Nietzsche, Husserl and Buber, and the writings of Camus, Dostoevsky, Beckett, Kafka and Shestov. It compares the author’s personality theory with those of Freud, Jung, Fairbairn, Karl Abraham and Melanie Klein, and Buddhist, Gnostic, Christian and Muslim mysticism with Jewish Kabbalah. It explains society’s harsh treatment of Carlo Gesualdo, Vincent van Gogh and Antonin Artaud, and analyzes the existentialist approach to existence, absurdity, human dialogue, and suicide. It will appeal to students and professionals in fields as diverse as philosophy, psychology, sociology, anthropology, religion, law, music, art, drama, literature and biology.
  shaarei kedusha: Applied Jewish Values in Social Sciences and Psychology Michael Ben-Avie, Yossi Ives, Kate Loewenthal, 2015-12-01 This volume interweaves concepts and methods from psychology and other social sciences with Jewish ideas and practices in order to address contemporary social issues. This volume brings together pioneering research from scholars in such fields as psychology, education, and religious studies. The authors integrate insights from Jewish texts and practices with the methods and concepts of the social sciences to create interventions that promote the well-being of children, adults, families, communities, and society. Divided into three sections – Education, Psychological Well-Being, Society and Beyond– this book shows how this integrationist approach can deepen our understanding and generate new insights around pressing social challenges to impact positive change in the lives of people and communities.
