The Trees in the Forest
Recently, many books have come out exploring general Kabbalistic philosophy, however, little has been said to illustrate how this relates to functional Jewish law. While Kabbalah has been applied to personal transformation, psychology, and the monthly calendar, the practical path by which we live this lofty consciousness through the specifics of Jewish practice has yet to be explained. If anything, it seems the average Joe and the average Jew assumes just the opposite - that the specifics of Judaism get in way of the lofty Kabbalistic ideals. The Tress In The Forest: Jewish Living In The Context Of Kabbalah ventures to get to the forest from among the trees - to see the Kabbalistic big picture that underlies the specifics of Jewish practice, thereby revealing how all of Judaism is a means of infusing the physical nitty-gritty with the spiritual consciousness that Kabbalah offers us.
