Posted by Aryeh ben Avraham | Labels: , , , , , , , | Posted On Monday, 4 October 2010 at 12:18

Kabbalah Online's Weekly Magazine, Vol. 7, No. 5 - the week of 25 Tishrei - 1 Cheshvan 5771 / October 3 - 10, 2010


A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
"Noah" is the section of the Torah where the concept of the 70 nations of the world and their relationship to the Commandments is developed.
The first three articles offer Kabbalistic insights on this subject. The last three present deep meanings derived from other topics in this special Torah reading.
Finally, the middle article features the long-awaited resumption of our series of translation and original commentary of "Sha'ar HaGilgulim," the teachings of the holy Ari of Tzefat on reincarnation.

Beginner Level Kabbalah

Beginner Level Kabbalah: Text, Audio, and Video Resources

NEW    Lessons from the Patriarchs - A Kabbalah Primer

A primer on Kabbalah and Kabbalistic thinking. This article can be used as a first class on Kabbalah if you have an audience, and can easily be understood by even the most absolute beginner. Still, it contains deep insights into life, free will, parenting, and creation. Click here to read the full article.


An Introduction to Kabbalah and the Jewish Mystical Tradition

The fundamental concepts of the inner dimension of the Torah are explained. It is important to note that there are a number of synonyms for this inner dimension: Kabbalah, the concealed part of the Torah, secrets of the Torah, sitrei Torah, nistar or the soul of the Torah. Although each synonym has its own subtleties, they are all basically interchangeable. Chassidut, also included in the concealed part of the Torah, is the inner dimension of Kabbalah, or the soul of the soul of the Torah. Click here to read the full article.

The Development of Kabbalah

The Development of Kabbalah in Three Stages. There are three distinct stages in the historical revelation of Kabbalah. Each represents a conceptual approach to understanding Kabbalistic tradition. Each is identified with a particular historical figure Rabbi Moses Cordevero, also known as the Ramak; Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, popularly referred to as the holy Ari; and Rabbi Yisrael, the Ba'al Shem Tov. Each system of thought served to advance the evolution of Kabbalistic theory by providing new and more illuminating frameworks within which to organize the totality of Kabbalistic doctrine existing up to their time.

The Development of Kabbalah in Light of Its Main Texts. In this lecture the fundamental character of Kabbalah is explained as the union between wisdom and prophecy. The five major texts of Kabbalah (Sefer Yetzirah, Zohar, Pardes, Eitz Chayim, and Tanya) are the focus of a summary of its development over the ages. The dangers of studying Kabbalah from a non authentic source are explained. (Audio Available)

The Kabbalistic Tradition

At the moment when Israel stood at the foot of Mount Sinai, the heavens parted and the spirit of G-d descended from on high amidst thunder and lightning fire. In revealing Himself to the entire community of Israel, God in essence laid bare the hidden core of Kabbalistic truth which up to that point had been the privilege of a select few. Click here to read the full article.

The Ten Sefirot

A sefirah (pl. sefirot) is a channel of Divine energy or life-force. This most fundamental concept of Kabbalah is that in the process of creation an intermediate stage was emanated from God's infinite light to create what we experience as finite reality. These channels are called the Ten Sefirot, Ten Divine Emanations, Ten Divine Radiances, Ten Divine Eluminices, or Ten Divine Powers which are the basic terms and concepts of the inner wisdom of the Torah which is called Kabbalah. Click here to read the full article.

The Inner Dimension of the Sefirot

Kabbalah teaches us that at every level of created being--from the perfected realm of Atzilut (Divine "Emanation") to the deficient plane of our own earthly existence--there exist ten sefirot (Divine "radiances" or "powers") around which that reality is constructed. Each of these sefirot is given a name describing its unique role in the fashioning of reality. Each of the sefirot possesses both an external as well as an internal dimension. The external dimension of each sefirah is identified with the "functional" role that it plays in the process of Creation; its internal dimension is identified with the hidden motivational force which inspires its activity. Click here to read the full article.

The Worlds:
The Stages of the Creative Process from God's Infinite Light to Our Physical World

Before creation only God existed. Upon desiring to create independent reality and consciousness, He first revealed, to Himself, as it were, His Infinite Light. From this stage on, Kabbalah's understanding of creation is enormously complex and is not something that can be covered in detail in an introductory text. The various stages of creation are often called "worlds"--a term which is used to denote various developments in the creative process, as well as levels of consciousness and spiritual phases.
