A lucid presentation of the meditative methods, mantras, mandalas and other devices used, as well as a penetrating interpretation of their significance in the light of contemporary meditative research.

"Meditation and Kabbalah" is a thorough and lucid study of the role of meditation in Jewish mysticism [Kabbalah]. Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan was the author of many major works [for example, Jewish Meditation: A Practical Guide, Meditation and the Bible, Kabbalah and the Age of the Universe, and A Handbook of Jewish Thought] and the translator and annotator of three classics of Jewish mysticism [Sefer Yetzirah, Bahir, and Derech haShem].
