Glossary of Kabbalah

The goal of this glossary is to provide a genuine clarification of terms and concepts of the true Kabbalah. It is an abridged and simplified version of the Kabbalah Dictionary, but the reader will find a clear translation and explanation of the essential terms and concepts, most often encountered in the Kabbalah.

In the very rare books that deal seriously with the subject, the concepts of the Zohar and the Kabbalah are often quoted but not explained.  To study Kabbalah, it is important to have a good comprehension of its general idea, as well as its details. It is also necessary to be familiar with its usual terms and appellations, because, particular expressions and metaphors, as well as anthropomorphisms are used.
