STARTING TO LEARN KABALLAH [#18432]

January 11, 2022

QUESTION:

I want to slowly enter into studying nistar (the hidden dimension of Torah). Which sefarim should I begin with? I am very drawn to sefer Pischei Shearim of Reb Yitzchok Issac Chaver, but I can’t decide which sefer I should start from. What does the Rav recommend?

ANSWER:

Sefer Pischei Shearim is suitable for one who can be very analytical and think very logically and sensibly. It is recommended to begin studying this part of Torah by learning sefer Otzros Chaim, using any of the commentaries from today’s authors, and along with this or after completing it, one can move on to learning sefer Pischei Shearim.
