    About this ebook

    The Oracle of Kabbalah explores the ancient teachings regarding the letters of the Hebrew alphabet and how these teachings can be made practical in our contemporary lives.The Hebrew alphabet, the Aleph Beit, is said by the Kabbalists to embody wonderful and miraculous powers. The Hebrew word for letter, ot, also means “sign” or “wonder” or “miracle.” According to the earliest known book on Jewish mysticism, The Sefer Yetzirah (The Book of Creation), written more than fifteen centuries ago, God formed the entire universe through speaking aloud the twenty-two letters. Out of the nothingness of silence, with the vibration of God’s cosmic utterances, all things spring to life. “God said, ‘Let there be light.’ And there was light.”The letters of the Hebrew Alphabet, as the manifestations of God’s speech, are therefore the energetic and vibrational building blocks of creation. They are analogous to physical elements. Just as, for example, an atom of oxygen gas unites with two atoms of hydrogen gas to form a molecule of water, so does one letter combine with another to create new entities.The Hebrew Alphabet is like the periodic table of elements. Rabbi Marcia Prager writes, “This perception of Hebrew words and letters as the constituent spiritual elements of existence undergirds most Jewish mystical teaching.”
