Freebie: Tomer Devorah

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

imageRabbi Moshe Cordovero’s 1588 classic Tomer Devorah (Date Palm of Devorah) is widely studied in the weeks preceding the High Holidays, largely because of its glorious opening chapter dedicated to the topic of forgiveness. Endorsed by Chasidic and Misnaggedic masters alike, it is considered by many a rare exception to the ban on the study of Kabbalah by students under the age of 40. Now available in a new translation and with a commentary by Dr. Henry Abramson, a regular contributor to Torah Musings, an ebook version of The Kabbalah of Forgiveness may be downloaded for free here and entering coupon code YT52E (expires October 19). A series of mini-lecture videos accompanying the text are available at JewishHistoryLectures.org.
