Description: Jewish religious practice has been transformed by the Kabbalists of Safed in the 16th century. They brought new meaning and importance to many Biblical and rabbinic commandments and created new rituals that have become central practices for Jews of all denominations. This volume describes the origins of these traditions and explains the mystical meaning of these specific practices and rituals.
