The Palm Tree of Deborah
Tomer Devorah is a short ethical treatise in which Moses Cordovero teaches that human beings should imitate the qualities of the ten sefirot in their conduct. Louis Jacobs's translation with introduction and notes makes this beloved classic of Kabbalistic ethics accessible. It is a practical, devotional text ideal for readers interested in how mystical theology becomes a discipline of character.
