Ktavim Chadashim contains many unpublished works by Chaim Vital, the foremost disciple of the Ari (Isaac Luria). Here, for the first time, we publish two main sections in English, which are the commentary on Brit Menucha (Covenant of Rest), and the secret fourth part of Shaarei Kedusha (Gates of Holiness). The commentary on Brit Menucha deals with Kabbalah Ma'asit (Practical Kabbalah). It is much more than a simple commentary, because it contains names of angels that are not found in the original Brit Menucha, along with precise instructions concerning their usage. The fourth part of Shaarei Kedusha deals with the practical ways to force the Ruach Ha-Kodesh (Hooy Spirit) to descend upon us, thus allowing us to reach prophecy and the world to come. Vital even explains the 72 Names of God, with their angels
Adapted and translated for the English reader directly from the original text, The Gateway to Reincarnation, written by Chaim Vital, as taught to him by Isaac Luria.
This precious book is the recording of the teachings by the Arizal concerning his overall system. It gives the key to the Partzufim and establishes the link between ancient and modern Kabbalah. The book is unique and illustrates with over 140 drawings the entire Lurianic system
Etz Chayim is the main work containing the interpretation of Isaac Luria's (the Ari) teachings collected by his foremost disciple, Chayim Vital. The latter dedicated good part of his life to the rearrangement and diffusion of his master's thought. The writing describes the Tree of Life in a very technical way and has significantly contributed to the birth of modern Kabbalah, in which the 10 Sefirot are replaced by the concept of the 5 Partzufim (configurations, faces)
Rabbi Yitzhak Ben Sh'lomo Lurya Ashkenazi, commonly known in Jewish religious circles as "Ha'ARI" (meaning "The Lion"), "Ha'ARI Hakadosh" [the holy ARI] or "ARIZaL" [the ARI, Of Blessed Memory], was a foremost rabbi and Jewish mystic in the community of Safed in the Galilee region of Ottoman Syria. He is considered the father of contemporary Kabbalah, his teachings being referred to as Lurianic Kabbalah. While his direct literary contribution to the Kabbalistic school of Safed was extremely minute (he wrote only a few poems), his spiritual fame led to their veneration and the acceptance of his authority. The works of his disciples compiled his oral teachings into writing. Every custom of the...
B"H It is well known that the late Rabbi Chaim Vital revealed and discovered TEFACH (about three inches) in the Torah of the AR"I Z"L and covered it in the ALPAYIM AMAH (two thousands miles), and it is also known that each issue is not complete and is scattered throughout the length and breadth of his holy books. Rabbi Chaim Vital also coded and mixed the subjects in each chapter. He purposely wrote in some place in his books the opposite of the truth and much of his writings are written in acronyms. In his introduction, he wrote that he was writing the teachings of the AR"I in an abridged form. The reason he wrote it in this fashion is so that not everybody would understand his teachings. H...
