A key in the Curated Library
DANIEL C MATT
The Essential Kabbalah
If Fortune and Christopher offer structure and practice, Daniel Matt offers essence.
This is the scholar’s voice — clear, poetic translations of the Zohar and other primary texts.
It is the raw current: unfiltered mysticism, the pulse that precedes all interpretation.
Why It Matters Here
A collection of translated passages from Jewish Kabbalistic texts (including the Zohar, Isaac Luria, and others).
Accessible, lyrical, and spiritually charged, it introduces the heart of Jewish Kabbalah to the modern reader.
Resonance & Themes
- Direct transmission of mystical texts
- The Zohar as the heartbeat of Kabbalah
- Experiencing rather than explaining
