	Judaism 101: Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism
		The areas of Jewish thought that most extensively discuss these issues, Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism, were traditionally not even taught to people until the age of 40, when they had completed their education in Torah and Talmud.
		The mystical school of thought came to be known as Kabbalah, from the Hebrew root Qof-Bet-Lamed, meaning "to receive, to accept." The word is usually translated as "tradition." In Hebrew, the word does not have any of the dark, sinister, evil connotations that it has developed in English.
		Kabbalah was popular among Christian intellectuals during the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods, who reinterpreted its doctrines to fit into their Christian dogma.

	Learn Kabbalah \| Hesed, Gevurah, and Tiferet
		The second triad in the tree of the sefirot is that of hesed, gevurah, and tiferet, or lovingkindness, judgment, and harmony.
		Kabbalah is a literature by the oppressed for the oppressed; its writers and practitioners knew much better than we do that more hesed is needed in the world.
		Kabbalah understands that souls are complicated, and that men may have feminine traits just as women may have masculine ones.

		Gevurah and Hesed disappear and are recreated afresh for each time period; this is significant as they show that the qualities of the forces governing major free-will decisions are specific to one time-period.
		From the position of Gevurah, Catholicism mounted what was essentially a holy war against the Binah of Islam and a campaign of religious purification against the Tiferet of Judaism by first expelling, and later killing, those Moslems and Jews who would not convert to Christianity or relapsed subsequently into their original practices.
		Hesed and Gevurah disappear in the transition from one tree to the next, suggesting perhaps a change in the part to be played by Christianity in the future, especially in areas such as the role of the Papacy in the Roman Catholic church.

	CANA - Kabbalah: Getting Back to the Garden
		Gevurah, also known as Din, the fifth emanation, is the beginning of physicality, and associated with this sefirah is the archangel Samael, known as the Adversary.
		Kabbalah teaches that God’s blessings flow to the world through the Tree of Life when there is ethical behavior among humans; evil actions disrupt the union of the sefirot and empower demonic activity.
		Kabbalah, according to one writer, is not about worship or belief, but rather “becomes a direct path of communion between the individual and the Divine” (Harvey, 86).

	Notes on Kabbalah
		Gevurah corresponds to the conservative aspects of leadership, to the power to preserve the status-quo, and the power to destroy anything opposed to it.
		Chesed and Gevurah are the sceptre and sword of a king; there are many statues of medieval kings in British cathedrals which show a king seated with the sceptre of legitimate authority in one hand and the sword of temporal might in the other.
		In Kabbalah the King corresponds to the sephira Tiphereth, the union of Chesed and Gevurah.

		Kabbalah was progressively bundled in with pythagoreanism, neo-platonism, hermeticism and rosicrucianism to form a snowball which continued to pick up traditions as it rolled down the centuries.
		Non-Jewish Kabbalah has suffered greatly from having only a limited number of source texts to work from, often in poor translations, and without the key commentaries which would have revealed the tradition associated with the concepts described.
		It is pointless to criticise non-Jewish Kabbalah (as many writers have) for misinterpreting Jewish Kabbalah; it should be recognised as a parallel tradition with many points of correspondence and many points of difference.

	The Rabbinic Epithet Gevurah
		Kabbalah thus continues the ancient theological practice albeit in a new and different linguistic and philosophical mode that involves a narrowing of hermeneutical possibilities.1 Rabbinic theology concerns itself with the performative and experiential side of God's revelation.
		In no case does the epithet gevurah approach the philosophical meaning of "omnipotence." The medieval Hebrew translators of Jewish philosophical works composed in Arabic were sensitive to this fact when they coined a new term: hak-kol yakhol, a pale, abstract, and philosophically unambiguous attribute lacking the colorful armory of the epithet gevurah.

		Kabbalah, also spelled Kabbala (Hebrew: "tradition"), is generally known as the name for esoteric Jewish mysticism as it appeared in the 12th century and later.
		But at first the word Kabbalah did not refer to a specific esoteric tradition per se; in the Talmud, it is used for the extra-Pentateuchal parts of the Bible, and in post-talmudic literature the Oral Law is also called "kabbalah".
		Kabbalah is only one of the many terms used, during a period of more than 1500 years, to designate the mystical movement, its teaching, and its adherents, says Scholem.

	Learn Kabbalah \| Glossary
		Fifth of the sefirot, Gevurah means "strength." The sefirah is also referred to as din, "Judgment," and is the source of contriction, boundary, and restraint.
		Generally, Kabbalists pray that the forces of gevurah be sweetened by those of hesed (lovingkindness), although gevurah is also necessary for the world to exist -- otherwise it would be overcome by Divine light.
		Technically, Kabbalah refers to Jewish esoteric teachings which evolved primarily in the medieval period, regarding the hidden life of God and the secrets of his relationship with his creation.

		The most vivid metaphors for Chesed and Gevurah come from a time when European societies were ruled by kings and queens, when (in principle at least) the ultimate authority and power in society rested in a single individual.
		Gevurah is a hard sephirah to work with, as Kabbalistic magicians often discover to their cost.
		Gevurah is clinically exact, and if you invoke Gevurah you are invoking well above the level of emotion, particularly your emotions, and as you judge, so will you be judged.

		However, if you choose to study Kabbalah by name you should recognise that Kabbalah was and is a part of Judaism, and an important part of the history of Jewish people, and respect the beliefs which not only gave rise to Kabbalah, but which are still an essential part of Jewish faith..
		Many of the source texts of Kabbalah are commentaries on the Bible, and derive their insights using a variety of devices, such as puns, anagrams, gematria (letter manipulations) and cross references to the same word in different contexts.
		Kabbalah was progressively bundled with Pythagoreanism, Neoplatonism, Hermeticism and Rosicrucianism to form a snowball which continued to pick up traditions as it rolled down the centuries.

	Christian Kabbalah
		Living in a region where the Catholic Church was dominant, but a large part of the land was still under the rule of Moslem Arabs, and the Jews made an important contribution to the culture, Lull had the idea of unifying all three religions by developing a philosophy incoporating elements common to all.
		By the late 16th century Christian Kabbalah began to be permeated with alchemical symbolism; a trend that continued through the 17th and 18th century.
		In the second half of the 18th century this alchemical kabbalah was combined with Freemasonic numerology and occultism, from which was ultimately to develop the extraordinary occult/magickal revival of the late 19th century known as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn

		Knowledge of outer realities, environment, surroundings derives from the left side of da'at, the state of gevurah ("strength"), which is associated with restraint.
		The restraint element of gevurah enables the expression of love from a distance, overcoming barriers of time, or space, or tiredness.
		It is much easier to express love when in a state of closeness (the chesed side of da'at), whereas the ability to overcome distance demands a different kind of effort (which draws upon the gevurah side of da'at).

		For example, we read in the Talmud that the world was created through ten things: "by wisdom and by understanding, and by reason and by strength (Gevurah), by rebuke and by might, by righteousness and by judgment, by loving kindness and compassion" (Talmud, Tractata Hagiga 12a).
		Yours, O Lord, is the greatness (gedullah), power (gevurah), the beauty (tiferet), the victory (netzach), the majesty (Hod)...yours is the kingdom (malchut).
		However, a fairly uniform scheme was adopted in the later Kabbalah, one that accords with the order of the Sefirot as given by Moses Cordovero.
