The Kabbalists' re-reading of the earlier Jewish tradition has been called a model of "mythopoeic revision," a revision rooted in a world-view that stressed the interrelation of all worlds and levels of being. This is the first work, in any language, to systematically collect and analyze all the major innovations in praxis and theology that classical Kabbalah effected upon the development of the Rabbinic Sabbath, one of the most central areas of Jewish religious practice. The author analyzes the historical development of the Kabbalistic Sabbath, constructs a theoretical framework for the interpretation of its dense myth-ritual structure, and provides a phenomenology of key myths and rituals. It is one of the first Kabbalistic studies to integrate traditional textual-historical scholarship with newer methods employed in the study of religion and symbolic anthropology. 606 $aSabbath 606 $aCabala$xHistory 606 $aJudaism$xCustoms and practices 606 $aJewish art and symbolism 615 0$aSabbath. 615 0$aCabala$xHistory. 615 0$aJudaism$xCustoms and practices. 615 0$aJewish art and symbolism. 676 $a296.4/1 700 $aGinsburg$b Elliot Kiba$01490798 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974874503321 996 $aThe Sabbath in the classical Kabbalah$94065421 997 $aUNINA
