On the Mystical Shape of the Godhead: Basic Concepts in the Kabbalah

Gershom Gerhard Scholem

In 6 seminal essays, the path breaking scholar of Jewish mysticism, Gershom Scholem delves into several of the Kabbalah’s most intriguing conceptions. The Mystical Shape of the Imageless God; Good and Evil in the Kabbalah; the Tzaddik or righteous soul; the Shekhinah, the feminine aspect of God; Gilgul, the transmigration of souls; and Trelem, astral bodies, or the spiritual composition of a human being. Gershom Scholem was professor of Jewish mysticism at the Hebrew University until his death in 1982.
