Kabbalah and the Art of Being

"Professor Shimon Shokek, through his new approach to Kabbalah, suggests that the central ingredient in the spiritual teachings of Jewish mysticism is to be found in the Kabbalistic theme of creation. Professor Shokek argues that Kabbalah is not just a religious phenomenon or an esoteric theology but a practical wisdom for living, creativity and well-being. Thus, he introduces Kabbalah as a spiritual Jewish way of living, an art of being." "The book reveals the core questions that emerge from the widom of the Jewish sages. It considers in depth the Kabbalistic meaning of creation, mysticism, communion with God, language and speech, the human soul, messianism and repentance." "At a time when the study of Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism is attracting a growing number of students, Kabbalah and the Art of Being opens an avenue of debate, for both the academic student and the interested general reader."--BOOK JACKET.
