This is the seventh Gate, the only one teaching how to put everything into practice. It contains meditations, kabbalistic customs, and Yichudim, thought to allow a practical and effective bonding with our Creator.

Sha'ar HaPesukim, or the "Gate of Verses," is the fourth of eight "gates" of the writings of the Arizal. Not surprising, it is on Tanach itself, Torah, Prophets, and Writings, all of which can be learned on four increasingly more insightful levels-Pshat, Remez, Drush, and Sod-simplicity, hints, exegetics, and Kabbalah. But whereas the first three levels provide more down-to-earth explanations, basically background information to the verses, Sod offers a far deeper and more profound understanding of the inner workings of Creation and the history it has produced. For example, Yetzias Mitzrayim, on a Pshat level, is important because it documents the exodus of the Jewish people from Egyptian slavery. According to Sod, however, it was also an important part of an ongoing rectification process, going all the way back to Adam HaRishon and spanning all of history. This volume is on Sefer Shemos only.

Some four hundred years before Albert Einstein proposed his theory of relativity of the outer universe to the scientific community, a rabbi named Isaac Luria (1534–1572) passed his theory of the inner universe and its evolution to his students. With vision given only to the most gifted of kabbalistic mystics, Luria explained the inner worlds of the spirit and of the evolution that led to the ultimate birth of our cosmos. In a selection of passages from Luria’s Kabbalah that is both universal and stand-alone in transcendental value, Professor James Dunn presents, for the very first time, the essence of the great rabbi’s teachings. According to Luria, the ultimate calling in this lifetime or in future lifetimes is to reharmonize (and hence remove) inherent imperfections through proper heart, and the teachings presented here have just this aim: to help “heal the broken vessel of the world” (tikkun olam). We all long to be healed and whole, and here scholars and lay people alike will find the wisdom they seek.

Does Judaism believe in reincarnation? You could say that it wrote the BOOK on reincarnation, gilgulim in Hebrew. At least Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, otherwise known as the "Arizal," did. Transcribed by his foremost student, Rabbi Chaim Vital, the eighth "gate" of the Ari's writings, "Sha'ar HaGilgulim," is not only a discussion about reincarnation, but a very detailed and intense description of personal and world rectification, not to mention an eye-opening look at Jewish history. It is an indispensable work for the person interested in personal growth and making sense of what has often been convoluted history.

Kabbalah of Creation is a new translation of the early Kabbalah of Rabbi Isaac Luria, founder of the most influential Jewish mystical school of the last 400 years. Living in relative obscurity in Northern Galilee, Luria experienced a powerful epiphany that influenced his lyrical, influential text. Poetically and meditatively described, the range of subjects includes the revelation of the Godhead's light in the world and its relationship to every aspect of the human life cycle, including lovemaking, conception, gestation, birth, and maturation.
