KabbalahMeaning
“heritage,” a mystical form, or “secret science,” of Judaism that
developed in the late Middle Ages. Kabbalah
was an esoteric method of interpreting the <!g>Hebrew Scriptures by way of the
numerical coding of Hebrew letters. Such
a code system was meant to bring out the hidden meaning of each biblical word.
The culminating, classical work of Kabbalah was the Zohar (“illumination”),
a work containing the record of revelations concerning divine mysteries, as they
were traditionally received from the second-century Rabbi Simeon ben Yohai and
his mystic circle.
