Zur Kabbala und ihrer Symbolik

Scholem's studies on Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical-theosophical secret doctrine that claims to be an ancient revelation, are a fascinating contribution to the understanding of the history and psychology of Judaism. The recurring images and symbols of a movement whose esoteric teachings have been disseminated over centuries in various schools cannot be fully grasped conceptually alone. Scholem interprets them from a vibrant context of the mystical tradition.
