Jewish Mysticism & Kabbalah

The Sabbath in the Classical Kabbalah

by Elliot K. Ginsburg

Elliot Ginsburg studies how classical kabbalists transformed the Sabbath into a weekly mystical drama of divine union, cosmic restoration and the soul's elevation. He examines Zoharic and later rituals, symbols and their meanings. This SUNY study suits readers interested in how Kabbalah reshaped Jewish ritual life. It remains a standard English treatment of the subject and a model of the study of Kabbalistic ritual.
