In The Orchard, Dovid Tsap takes readers on four mind-opening adventures into authentic Kabbalah thought:
Kabbalah: A Delicate Flower guides students around the pitfalls of ‘stargazing’, ‘getting lost in the palace hallways’, and ‘studying the map without walking the streets’.
Biblical Figures and the Tree of Life explores the ten energies (Sefirot) comprising the psyche, their correspondence to ten biblical personalities, and how psychological wellbeing relates to the balance of five pairs of complementary Sefirot.
Fruit of the Tree: Mitzvot as States of Being explains several mitzvot [commandments] in a universally relevant manner by demonstrating how each involves a distinct usage of one’s psycho-spiritual qualities.
PARDES: The Mystical Orchard explores the four levels of Torah interpretation known by the acronym PARDES: Peshat—simple meaning; Remez—allusions; Derush—deriving lessons; and Sod—the esoteric. After relating these to the rivers flowing from Eden, the scheme is applied in practice.
While elucidating the esoteric, the book is rich with practical insight.
Written in a style accessible to beginners it delves deep beyond the introductory.
