Truth about Kabbalah

Truth about the Arizal’s Kabbalah

The Arizal’s Kabbalah is an elaborate theory. What is it really? What does it teach? Who wrote the Arizal’s teachings? To what end? Who caused the Arizal’s kabbalah to spread throughout the Jewish people?

We present to your attention the main elements of the research work of Israeli rabbis and scholars on the issue of modern Kabbalah – the Arizal’s Kabbalah. Our goal is to explain to all Jews that they should not have to deal with the Kabbalah of Arizal. All evidence can be found on our website.

This essay is based solely on sources from the Written Torah and Oral Torah: Tanach, Mishnah, Talmud, Midrash, Zohar, books of tannaim and amoraim, rishonim, Rabbi Mosheh Cordovero, Rabbi Yosef Karo. It is meant for every thinking Jew who believes in the Torah of Mosheh Rabbenu and wishes to guard its principles.

This essay does not speak at all about the Arizal (Rabbi Yitzchak Luria Ashkenazi) himself, but about the kabbalah attributed to him. This is for the reason that the Arizal did not write any book, because all of the books that we presently have were written primarily by Rabbi Chayyim Vital. In the books Shivchei HaAri and Sefer HaChezyonot, it is stated that Rabbi Chayyim Vital hid all the writings from people and passed them on to his son Rabbi Shemuel Vital, who worked on editing and publishing them after his death. The writings of Rabbi Chayyim Vital were published about a century after the Arizal’s death.

 

Summary

Look around and you will see a distorted Judaism. This is a consequence of the influence of the Arizal’s teachings, which changed the principles, moved the foundations, distorted the halachah, introduced idolatry to the Jewish people! The Arizal’s kabbalah in its entirety deals with fake divinity, and is therefore defined as idolatry.

  • First of all, the Arizal’s kabbalah is based on eleven sefirot instead of ten as in Mosheh Rabbenu’s Torah, which already makes it fake, since when the foundation is in error, then everything derived from it is mistaken.
  • In the Arizal’s kabbalah, there is separation in divinity, the concept of procreation in divinity just like an actual man and woman, the concept of children in divinity, just like in foreign religions such as the Greeks and similar religions.
  • In the Arizal’s kabbalah, there is deficiency in divinity. It teaches that HaKadosh Baruch Hu is missing mochin (brains), that HaKadosh Baruch Hu has a mother who gave birth to Him, God forbid.
  • The Arizal’s kabbalah teaches that we “complete ones” can magnify and complete HaShem’s “deficient” name through kavvanot. This is all foreign to the principles of the Jewish faith, which maintains that HaShem’s name has no deficiency and that He is the height of perfection. On the contrary, we are the ones who have need for His help to complete us.
  • The Arizal’s kabbalah posits that the divine world died and the divine vessels were broken, and that man was created in order to repair them. However, in Mosheh Rabbenu’s Torah, there is no such thing as death in the divine world; breaking of the divine vessels is impossible. Similarly, it is perfectly clear that puny human beings cannot repair the divinity even if there were something to the claim.
  • In the Arizal’s kabbalah, there is sleep in the divinity; HaShem sleeps.
  • The Arizal’s kabbalah introduces idolatry into Jewish prayers, such as: the name דִּיקַרנוּסָא in the prayer for livelihood, shaking the lulav in the form of a cross.
  • The Arizal’s kabbalah introduced the worship of graves into the Jewish people.
  • The Arizal’s kabbalah slanders and libels the great Torah sages.
  • The Arizal’s kabbalah aids the messianic phenomena that damage the belief in a true messiah, and produces false messiahs, which brings harsh troubles to the Jewish people.
  • The Arizal’s kabbalah involves seeking out the dead and asking questions of ov. 

Presumably that Italian Christians, probably the Vatican, created the Arizal’s kabbalah, in order to replace the important part of Mosheh Rabbenu’s Torah – the sod – with a modern Christian forgery. In contrast to the books of the Arizal, sacred books such as the Talmud, the Rambam, etc. were charged with heresy and incitement against Christians, and were burnt in the fire of the Inquisition. Many historians believe that popes wanted to bring Jews closer to Christianity by circulating the books of the Arizal!

Those who disseminated the Arizal’s kabbalah throughout the nation of Israel were wicked men, lustful for power and gain; and those who disseminate the Arizal’s kabbalah today are good but foolish people who don’t have a standard to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

The Ramak testifies in his book Or Yakar (Tikkunim, volume 3, page 204):

It is forbidden to reveal the secrets of the Torah to a non-Jew …  like the foxes destroyed the vineyard of HaShem Tzevaot, HaShem’s covenant … Wisdom itself concealed itself, and blessed is He Who gave us the merit that neither they nor the nations know the difference between their right and left any more than speechless animals, because in the end they only enter into the midst of it as birds chirping. Know this and be careful!

Enough to idolatry in Judaism! Wake up, people! Stop the spiritual disaster!

As King David says in Tehillim 32:9: “Do not be like a horse, like a mule, without understanding.” It is forbidden for a Jew to run like a horse without examining where he is running to, or to accept things without any discernment like a mule. And in Tehillim 25:14: “The secret of HaShem is to those who fear Him, to make His covenant known to them”!
