What if the universe is not merely a collection of physical objects-but a living web of divine meaning that humanity has been called to repair?

For centuries, Kabbalah was studied within small circles of Jewish scholars and mystics. Its teachings were concealed in symbolic texts, transmitted from master to disciple, and frequently misunderstood by outsiders.

Today, Kabbalah is discussed around the world-but its authentic history and meaning are often obscured by myths, commercial promises, and popular simplifications.

A Brief History of Kabbalah takes readers beyond the red strings, celebrity endorsements, and modern misconceptions to reveal the extraordinary Jewish mystical tradition that developed over more than two thousand years.

Beginning with the prophetic visions of Ezekiel and the heavenly journeys of the Merkabah mystics, Isaac Volpe traces Kabbalah's evolution through Sefer Yetzirah, the Zohar, medieval Spain, the mystical community of Safed, Hasidism, modern scholarship, and today's global spiritual revival.

Along the way, you will encounter visionary thinkers such as Abraham Abulafia, Moses Cordovero, Isaac Luria, the Baal Shem Tov, Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, and Gershom Scholem-and discover how their ideas transformed Jewish spirituality and influenced Western thought.

Inside this fascinating and accessible history, you will learn:

- How Kabbalah emerged from biblical, Talmudic, and early mystical traditions
