Kabbala Sages of Safed
Ramak’s Works
Ramak wrote prolifically.
Among his works are:
Pardes Rimonim: The
most renowned of Ramak’s writings, the Pardes systematizes and expounds
the entire spectrum of Kabbalistic thought until his time, resolving many
apparent contradictions and hundreds of long-unanswered questions.
Or Yakar: A
monumental commentary on the Zohar, this work explains numerous passages
from Zohar, Tikunei Zohar; Zohar Chadash and other
kabbalistic classics.
Or Ne’erav: An
introduction to Kabbala.
Shiur Komah: A
treatise dealing with the structure of the worlds and the sefirot.
Eilima Rabbati: A
systematic and highly explanatory approach to the Or Ein Sof and the sefirot
as well as other kabbalistic themes. The book begins with a polemic against
those "who distance themselves from learning Kabbala."
Tomer Devorah: A
treatise integrating ethical exhortation with kabbalistic teachings concerning
the thirteen attributes of mercy found in Micah, and a kabbalistic
explication of the concept of Imitatio Dei.
