Review :
Welcome to Rabbi Wernick’s classroom. This is a book that serves to make an esoteric subject accessible without compromising intellectual integrity. Rabbi Wernick takes his role as guide and teacher with utmost seriousness, knowing when to hold our hand . . . and when to let go. A Gateway to the Kabbalah provides a brief yet in-depth introduction to Jewish mysticism. It’s not a quick and cute look at the ‘what’ of Kabbalah, like some sort of ‘Dummies’ book. Rather, it provides a serious introductory look into the why and how of Jewish mysticism, its origins, and its reasons for being. It made me want to know more. The depth and breadth of Rabbi Wernick’s knowledge and his profound love of Jewish teaching and learning are evident in this brief yet comprehensive history of Jewish mysticism. From its roots in biblical prophecy, through syncretism with Zoroastrianism and Greek thought, to its development in the milieu of Christian theology and philosophy, Rabbi Wernick traces the history of the Jewish quest for spiritual enlightenment and understanding. With insightful clarity, he explains the mystery of the Sefirot, its expression in the Zohar, in Lurianic mystical thoughts, in Hasidic manifestation, and touches upon contemporary attempts to transcend the mundane. This book is a must for those looking for a source to reveal what had long been a ‘hidden’ subject in Jewish history—mysticism and Kabbalah.
