Lesson Nine: The Avodat Hakodesh

Rabbi Yossi Paltiel
1562 Views     1 Rating

Thousands of books of Kabbalah have been written over the centuries, but a few stand out as the most prominent and widespread.

In this section of his “Intro to Kabbalah” series, Rabbi Paltiel begins with describing the Avodat Hakodesh as a comprehensive outline of the goals, framework and methodology of Kabbalah. This work of Rabbi Meir Ezekiel ibn Gabbai introduces the concept of the G-dly light that allows for a relationship between man and G-d. In his writings, he vehemently opposes the validity of Jewish philosophers, such as Maimonides, viewing Jewish Philosophy as an adaptation of a secular form of logic, which has no basis in authentic Judaism.
