This essay is an examination of the age of the universe as
discussed in Kabbalistic works.
It is important to realize that the Kabbalistic texts do not
only discuss mysticism, but also many areas of hashkafah (Jewish
outlook) which are of great importance to us.
Let us begin with the classic question asked about the age of
the universe. At face value, the Torah seemingly teaches us that
the universe is 6,000 years old.
Therefore, many people would hold the opinion that anyone who
believes that the world is older than 6,000 years is an
apikores(one who denies the basic tenets of Judaism). However,
there is scientific evidence that the universe is more than 6,000
years old; maybe millions of times more.
