5.0 out of 5 stars Fine Introduction to Kabbalah, November 14, 2004
There are many introductory books published on the Kabbalah. This is one of the best. The fact that the author has also published more advanced texts (e.g. "The Work of the Kabbalist" and "School of Kabbalah") attests to his intimate knowledge of the subject. But, those texts (as well as translations of older ones such as Gikatilla's "Gates of Light") are quite obtuse without a solid background in the basics. Havlevi (a pseudonym for Warren Kenton) has written several entry level books of high quality. This is one of the best, and probably the one to read first. My favorite quotation from this book (I collect quotes) is: "The rabbis have said that the reason for Existence is that it acts as a vast mirror of contemplation by which God may behold God...the Holy One beholds the Holy One through our experience." 1991 edition, p.202

4.0 out of 5 stars A good basic introduction about the jewish misticism, June 27, 2000
By Vitalia de Urso (Caracas, Venezuela) - See all my reviews
Introduction to the Cabala by Shimon Halevi is a good basic book about the jewish miticism. This is a teorical work with much advice, some hidden for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. I reccomend that the serious student pays particular attention to the study of the sephirots and the Tree Of Life. If tou want to start a serious work in Cabala, this book i s for you.
