Le terme Kabbale, de l'hébreu Qabbalah, est aujourd'hui communément utilisé pour définir la mystique juive et les traditions ésotériques du judaïsme. Pourtant, dans le langage talmudique, Qabbalah signifie tout simplement tradition et désigne les textes prophétiques et hagiographiques de la Bible sans aucune connotation mystique ou ésotérique. Encore convient-il de s'entendre sur les termes : la Kabbale doit être considérée comme une mystique dans la mesure où elle vise à une saisie du divin au-delà des limites de l'expérience habituelle, et elle est ésotérisme en tant qu'elle n'est transmise qu'à un petit nombre d'initiés. Quelle est l'histoire de la Kabbale depuis l'Antiquité ? Quelle vision du monde propose-t-elle et en quoi consiste son héritage à l'époque moderne?

This volume offers a narrative history of modern Kabbalah, from the sixteenth century to the present. Covering all sub-periods, schools, and figures, Jonathan Garb demonstrates how Kabbalah expanded over the last few centuries, and how it became an important player, first in the European, subsequently in global cultural and intellectual domains. Indeed, study of the Kabbalah can be found on virtually every continent and in many languages, despite of the destruction of many centres in the mid-twentieth century. Garb explores the sociological, psychological, scholastic and ritual dimensions of kabbalistic ways of life in their geographical and cultural contexts. Focusing on several important mystical and literary figures, he shows how modern Kabbalah is both deeply embedded in modern Jewish life, yet has become an independent, professionalized sub-world. He also traces how Kabbalah was influenced by, and contributed to the process of modernization.

An der Streitfrage, ob Heidegger in den »Schwarzen Heften« auch eine antisemitische Position vertreten hat, hat sich bisher noch keine ausdrücklich jüdische Stimme beteiligt. In diesem Buch widmet Michael Chighel Heideggers Äußerungen zum Judentum eine intensive Untersuchung aus dem Geist von Kabbala und Tora, in der er zu überraschenden Einsichten kommt. Das eigentliche Problem jener Äußerungen liege nicht im Antisemitismus, sondern an einer anderen Stelle in Heideggers Verhältnis zum Judentum – in dessen Gegenstellung zu einem fest im religiösen Judentum verwurzelten Humanismus. Chighels Interpretationen, die zugleich den Charakter einer Einführung in die Grundlagen des jüdischen Religionsdenkens tragen, führen so zu Betrachtungen, die in der Diskussion um Heideggers Denken breiteste Aufmerksamkeit verdienen. Hier ein Interview mit Michael Chighel, das die Jüdische Allgemeine mit dem Autor geführt hat. In der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung vom 3.1.2021 ist ein ganzseitiges Interview zu lesen, das Bert Rebhandl mit Michael Chighel geführt hat. Der Teaser ist hier online zugänglich.The discussions about Heidegger's »Schwarze Hefte« seem to have calmed down. Positions have been taken, defended, and are not likely to be moved. While his conservative apologists will not tolerate any criticism directed towards Heidegger, others are wont to indifferently settle everything the philosopher thought against his political statements. More balanced interpretations tend to be attacked by both sides. No explicitly Jewish voice, however, has so far been heard on the controversial question of whether Heidegger took an anti-Semitic position in the »Schwarze Hefte«. In this book, Michael Chighel, who lives in Jerusalem, dedicates an intensive investigation to Heidegger's comments on Judaism which yields surprising insights. According to Chighel, the real problem of these infamous statements is not anti-Semitism, but rather another aspect of Heidegger's relationship to Judaism – its stubborn opposition to a humanism firmly rooted in religious Judaism. Chighel's interpretations, which also serve as an introduction to the foundations of Jewish religious thinking, thus lead to considerations that deserve the broadest attention in the discussion of Heidegger's thinking.

How did Jewish mysticism go from arcane knowledge to popular spirituality? Kabbalah in Print examines the cultural impact of printing on the popularization, circulation, and transmission of Kabbalah in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The Zohar, in particular, generated a large secondary literature of study guides and reference works that aimed to ease the linguistic and conceptual challenges of the text. The arrival of printed classics of Kabbalah was soon followed by the appearance of new literary genres—anthologies, digests, lexicons, and other learning aids—that mediated mystical primary sources to a community of readers not versed in this lore. A detailed investigation of the four works by R. Yissakhar Baer (ca.1580–ca.1629) of Prague sheds light on the literary strategies, pedagogic concerns, and religious motivations of secondary elites, a new cadre of authors empowered by the opportunities that printing opened up. Andrea Gondos highlights shifting intellectual and cultural boundaries in the early modern period, when the transmission of Kabbalah became a meeting point connecting various strata of Jewish society as well as Jewish and Christian intellectuals.
