Sefer Yetzira is a sacred book of great antiquity and power, and
one of Judaism's oldest texts after the Bible. In this new
translation and commentary, Rabbi Worch leads us step-by-step
through innermost chambers of Jewish mysticism. We are allowed to
listen in to the arguments between Moses and God, to the whispered
dialogue between Rabbis Akiba and Ishmael, and to those fervid and
passionate practitioners of whose ecstasies these pages remain
redolent. In the beginning was God's desire for us. Sefer Yetzira
describes the process whereby desire materializes in the Breath of
God and thence into the Ten Sephirot and twenty two letters of the
Hebrew alphabet. Commentaries to the Sefer Yetzira, through the
ages, have reflected the spirit and yearning of those times, the
genius and romance of the zeitgeist, be it philosophical,
mathematical or contemplative. This commentary reflects the
strikingly mystical qualities of Hasidism and the post-modern
approach to text. In this book, we read how to listen for the
breath of the Living God, how to hear it and breathe it back, in
the mystery of our sacred kisses.
