📱 eBook en inglés PARDES RIMONIM - POMEGRANATE ORCHARD (MOSHE CORDOVERO)

Pardes Rimonim is one of the fundamental works of classical Kabbalah. Written by Rabbi Mosheh ben Ya aqov Cordovero (Ramak), one of the greatest systematizers of Kabbalistic thought, the work was composed in Tzefat (Safed), in Galilee, around 1550–1555, at the height of the mystical flourishing of Judaism after the expulsion from Spain. Cordovero, a disciple of Rabbi Shelomoh Alqabetz, wrote this treatise before the emergence of the Lurian school, with the explicit purpose of ordering, clarifying, and harmonizing the traditions of the Zohar, the Tiqqunim, the Sefer Yetzirah, and earlier Kabbalistic authors. Pardes Rimonim is not a devotional book, but a rigorous Kabbalistic architecture. Structured into 32 Gates (She arim) and 287 chapters, it systematically explores the major axes of Kabbalah: the Sefirot, the distinction between Essence and Vessels (Atzmut ve-Kelim), the order of Emanation (Atzilut), the Divine Names, the worlds (ABYA), the letters, vowels and accents, the spiritual channels, the kelipot, the soul, the intention (kavanah), and the classical methods of interpretation such as gematria, tzeruf, and temurah. This 2nd edition is recommended for scholars, researchers, and readers committed to the Jewish mystical tradition at its highest level. Pardes Rimonim remains, to this day, an indispensable gateway for those who wish to understand Kabbalah as a structured spiritual science, and not as fragmented mysticism.
