Lurianic Kabbalah

Lurianic Kabbalah: "Kabbalah' means 'given by the tradition,' and the term refers to the mystical and esoteric traditions of the Jewish people. However, it is somewhat misleading to speak of 'the Kabbalah' as if it were a single, unified set of symbols or ideas. Moshe Idel, for example, has discerned three basic models operating and competing throughout the history of Jewish mysticism."
