Physician of the Soul, Healer of the Cosmos
Isaac Luria and His Kabbalistic Fellowship
Lawrence Fine's Stanford study is the most comprehensive English account of Isaac Luria and the mystical circle he led in sixteenth-century Safed. It covers Luria's life and charisma, his cosmology of tzimtzum and tikkun, contemplative practices, penitential rites and the fellowship's social world. Clear and well documented, it is the standard starting point for anyone studying Lurianic Kabbalah.
