I am trying to learn Torah in depth understanding even in my busy life. Your channel will keep me busy learning and keep me away from the material things the social media offered. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge Rabbi Efraim.

    I’m Australia born into a family of no religion, through my life I was drawn to metaphysics which lead me to hermetic principles which lead me to kaballah. It just feels like home to me although I’m only scratching the surface. I’m really glad I found this channel to learn about mysticism

    • @EfraimPalvanov
      @EfraimPalvanov  11 місяців тому +3

      Thanks a lot Vlad :) There are several texts that explore the letters and their proper pronunciations. One of the earliest is Saadia Gaon's commentary on Sefer Yetzirah. More recently, Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan discusses it in his translation and commentary on Sefer Yetzirah (which I highly recommend). I also went into depth about the letter pronunciations in one of my books. If you reach out to me directly by email I can send you that essay.

    I have noticed that there are two different images of the tree of life. One is the one you explain, then there is another one with two paths from Netzach and Hod join to Malchut. According to one Rabbi, that one (not like yours) makes it the "dark" tree or sefirot. Could you perhaps explain the difference?

    • @EfraimPalvanov
      @EfraimPalvanov  9 місяців тому +3

      You can find a good explanation in Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan's Sefer Yetzirah: The Book of Creation, pgs. 22-32 (highly recommend this book). In short, the one I always use and the one in this video is the Arizal's version, while the other one is associated more with the Vilna Gaon. Both are fine and nothing to do with "dark" or anything like that. I prefer the Arizal's version for a number of reasons (as do most people, which is why it is a lot more common).

    Shalom. I was wondering, why is Chabad spelled with two yods? Is it to indicate that G-d is within, or that it is inspired by Hashem? Having trouble finding that answer since most of the hits revolve around the fact that two yods traditionally replaces the Lord's name.

On 9/22/22 going into 9/23/22 where I was stargazing and suddenly a 7 of them stood out like a sefira diagram. From my point of view, the moon was on Saturn, this was on the right side of the diagram or the warm side. With the reds and yellows.
      The left was blue and green/cold colors. The right was warm colors like red, orange, and yellow.
      Then I saw a meteor coming down. I called everyone around me to look as the one meteor broke apart and turned into several drone looking things. The rest of the dream feels irrelevant but that part stood out to me and I drew it out. Interestingly, and unbeknownst to me, the moon was in conjunction with Saturn those days. Forgive my use of English terms, I forgot the names of planets in Hebrew.

    God is everything excluding nothing. The first question to ask when one desires to understand the darkness that exists, is; Why didn't darkness require God to speak IT into existence? NEXT QUESTION: It's the only thing that pre-existed with God. Is there really a difference between them? The light came from God speaking as one with the darkness from within it. Darkness contained God before anything else except God ever existed. The darkness can not truly speak. It's ALWAYS God speaking, even in the darkness. Everything that's been created will eventually return to the darkness.

    There is no evidence to suggest that “God” spoke in Hebrew. The alleged entity given creation power was in the form of a lion who ascended into the heavens into his own domain as a man like figure and this self proclaimed “god” of Genesis is likely referring to the 1st beast that arose out of the sea in Daniel Chapter 7…
    “God” would not technically need to speak at all he could just think things and they would be the “word” came into play not from the source of all power but from a lesser source more than likely. The invisible things that you speak of can telepathically communicate with people as I am now literally experiencing both audible and telepathic communication. I think the world has all of this absolutely wrong!

    "Jewish mystic philosophy," 1520s, also quabbalah, etc., from Medieval Latin cabbala, from Mishnaic Hebrew qabbalah "reception, received lore, tradition," especially "tradition of mystical interpretation of the Old Testament," from qibbel "to receive, admit, accept." Compare Arabic qabala "he received, accepted." Hence "any secret or esoteric science." Related: Cabbalist.

    I watched the video about the tree of life very thoroughly. It's phenomenal. I just wonder why it's upside down? Is this the purpose? In my opinion, it can cause a lot of inconvenience. Although understanding and going goes both ways. For example, in recitation and breathing exercises, it can cause many problems... This is my private theory based on natural feeling,.. consider it just an opinion without any evidence. But still, you have the tree upside down. .)

    I think Aba and Ima are wrong in that “Aba” is the man or brain, and “Ima” is the Mother or Heart. The heart is not a masculine or feminine thing (the female breast near the heart are). The brain has the two halves: masculine and feminine, left brain-right brain. I think assigning the brain to the man and the heart to the woman isn’t very accurate, the brain within itself has a masculine-feminine. This way of viewing it causes people to think men should be “heads” of churches, states an leaders and women have to be giving and taken advantage of as the “heart”. This is false gender construct meant to keep woman out of leadership. I agree with the structure but not some of the gender assignments. Both men and women need to be hearts as much as minds.

    • @EfraimPalvanov
      @EfraimPalvanov  Рік тому +3

      Every human being, regardless of gender, has qualities of all Ten Sefirot (and five Partzufim). Certain qualities, however, are a little more pronounced in some people compared to other people, or in males compared to females. Generally speaking, the Sefirot on the right column lean towards more masculine while the ones on the left column lean towards more feminine. That doesn't mean they are exclusively masculine or feminine! Of course both men and women need to balance heart and mind, and to have a balance of all ten major qualities for that matter.
