Jewish Studies by Kalman Dubov PDF Summary

Book Description: Jewish mysticism is quite popular by way of books, lectures, and classes to teach this esoteric subject. The student suddenly confronts a world with a unique language and great masters who use obscure language so that the concepts are confusing amidst the different schools of Kabalistic thought and traditions. Prior to 1700, all such teaching was done from master to student, with intentional obscurities so that the student today faces many challenges in comprehending this discipline. This review, quoting from original sources, is designed to provide a basic and foundational structure from which the student can appreciate both the 'why' of Kabbalism and the 'how' they got there. The premise is that God created our physical universe for a reason, and the revelations on Mount Sinai are deliberate. Kabbalists understood the hidden from the apparent so that open texts were suddenly imbued with meaning never apparent from the text itself. The book review basic Kabbalistic concepts as well as a number of the giants in this arena. Different schools of thought emerged over time so that different modalities of Kabbalah are present today. These reviews are based on Theoretical Kabbalah, so that intention (Kavanah) during prayer and even during mundane acts throughout the day are imbued with Kabbalistic intention. The book does not review Practical Kabbalah, where incantations, amulets, and similar acts are done to enhance positive energy. In 1760, following the leadership and death of the Baal Shem Tov, the teaching of Kabbalah was opened to the lay public, setting aside the hidden curtain existing previously. Why the sudden change after thousands of years when this discipline was clandestine and not revealed openly? The answer lies with a mystic experience the Baal Shem Tov had with the Messia who charged him with such open teaching before he would come. That charge is the central pivot upon which these teachings turn. The book's sections are divided into separate reviews to enable the student to review them more easily. The first section is on concepts; the second is on personalities and the challenges they faced. The next major section is a review of two mystic concepts: God outside of nature and within nature. These concepts are central to the mystic understanding of infinite and finite and how this is present in Kabbalistic understanding. The following section is on God's 'Five Acquisitions' - Torah, Heaven and Earth, Abraham, Israel, and the Temple. A follow on section is a review of the topic of reincarnation, a central tenet of Kabbalistic Judaism. A few other sections are present such as two different medical oaths, a reflection on the Ark of the Covenant, and a brief discursus on why Jews use CE and not AD when referencing the year. It is hoped that the student will have an easier time when studying this subject.
