The ten “sefirot” constitute the tree of life, a cosmic structure used by Kabbalists as a mystical way to ascend from the earthly to the world of divinity. This knowledge, along with other occult knowledge, was transmitted from generation to generation through Kabbalah. Amparo Alba, professor of Hebrew at the Complutense University of Madrid, defines this Jewish doctrine as “mystical, theosophical and esoteric.” The speaker analyses the main Kabbalistic models, the chronological stages of Jewish mysticism, medieval Kabbalah (12th-15th centuries), some relevant works such as the “Sefer ha-Zohar” and other topics such as Hebrew linguistics, various interpretations of the Torah, the tree of life, Creation or the vision of man.
