Matt, Daniel Chanan Matt and Daniel Chanan Matt"Review"...Matt has dived down into the sunken literary treasure of Kabbalistic literature and brought up gems to share with us from many of its classical texts, letting the Kabbalists speak for themselves....This is the kind of book that is slowly savored, a page or two at a time, and returned to again and again." Publisher's noteThe author of Zohar: The Book of Enlightenment has written an essential guide to Jewish mysticism--"a striking anthology, an original meditation, and a mystic philosophy of life" (David Wolpe, author of The Healer of Shattered Hearts: A Jewish View of God). AnnotationTHE ESSENTIAL KABBALAH is a smart, contemplative introduction to the greatest books of the Jewish mystical tradition. The Kabbalah is the foundation of all modern Jewish philosophic and metaphysical thought. Its lessons and rituals are derived from the texts of The Zohar, which was compiled by Moses de Leon around 1280 from earlier writings by ancient scholars such as Issac Luria, Abraham Isaac Kook, and Moses Cordovero. In THE ESSENTIAL KABBALAH, Daniel C. Matt has collected the vital excerpts, mediations, and poems from these classic texts to provide its salient aspects and illuminate the general themes. Each item is centered on its own page in order to provoke the reader to ponder its meaning and its relations to the text as a whole. Matt includes biographies of each of the writers referenced and an essay detailing the Kabbalah's mysterious history. His translations are considered definitive among modern Kabbalah scholars, and general readers will certainly benefit from his poetic translations and impressive knowledge.
