Beginnings of the Theoretical Kabbalah

The fact that Kabbalah – it is not “science” and ” esoteric doctrine .” This is a confidential part of the Oral Torah , which is transmitted by tradition , which goes back to the very Moshe Rabbeinu ( Moses ) . The word ” Kabbalah ” means “acceptance , receipt “. Therefore extremely important in this regard is the authenticity of what is sent and received .This is what distinguishes this edition from all the other books on Kabbalah in Russian . Its author, Rabbi Yechiel Bar Lev , studied at the famous Israeli yeshiva ” Ponevezh ” and studied Kabbalah with the spiritual leader of the Yeshiva , Rabbi Chaim Fridlan DEROME , an expert on the teachings of the great Kabbalist Ramchal and commentator of his books. This book has received the recommendations of authoritative rabbis – p . Ovadia Yosef and p . Seraiah Davletskogo . Before you begin pestle Rabbi Moshe Shapiro .Therefore, he who studies Kabbalah began on this book can be sure that the front of it – not just another profanity and not ” pop Kabbalah” for “dummies” , which had multiplied in recent years countless and authentic , secret knowledge , has come down to us from time immemorial – and let set out a modern and accessible language.

Another very important advantage of the book – its academic quality and clarity. Rabbi Yechiel Bar Lev , our contemporary , wrote a book in the form of a textbook with a clear division into chapters and paragraphs , with examples of modern life, which help get to the core studied . And though not all concepts are immediately apparent beginning readers – and can not be otherwise – he would be able to at least catch the general meaning of what was said. The book will be particularly useful , and someone who has already tried to grasp some concepts of Kabbalah and Hasidism . It will help him organize and systematize their fragmentary knowledge.

We hope that this book will help those who intend to study Kabbalah in its present form . It must be remembered that this is only a brief introduction , and that a precondition for the present study of Kabbalah is the observance of the commandments and extensive knowledge of the other sections of the Torah. And even as an introduction – this book is to explore, and not to read. It is necessary to go back more than once, or twice , to the ideas contained in it flashed all its facets .
