Kabbalistic Tradition
The Kabbalistic Tradition is a mystical interpretation of Judaism that seeks to understand the nature of God and the universe. It emphasizes the importance of spiritual knowledge and the inner dimensions of the Torah, the central text of Jewish law and ethics. Kabbalah explores concepts such as the Tree of Life, which represents the ten attributes through which God interacts with the world.
Originating in the 12th century, Kabbalah gained prominence through texts like the Zohar, a foundational work attributed to the 2nd-century sage Shimon bar Yochai. Practitioners believe that through meditation and study, one can achieve a deeper connection with the divine and uncover hidden truths about existence.
