Kabbalah and Eros
Moshe Idel explores erotic imagery and concepts in Kabbalah, including the union of the masculine and feminine sefirot, sexual ethics, the Sabbath union and the theurgic role of marital intercourse. He contrasts Jewish attitudes with Christian and Platonic traditions. This Yale volume is an important study of eros as a central category of Jewish mysticism.
