Seekers of the Face
2021
Overview
A magisterial, modern reading of the deepest mysteries
in the Kabbalistic tradition.
Seekers of the Face opens the profound treasure house
at the heart of Judaism's most important mystical work: the Idra
Rabba (Great Gathering) of the Zohar. This is the story of the
Great Assembly of mystics called to order by the master teacher and
hero of the Zohar, Rabbi Shim'on bar Yochai, to align the divine
faces and to heal Jewish religion. The Idra Rabba demands a radical
expansion of the religious worldview, as it reveals God's faces and
bodies in daring, anthropomorphic language.
For the first time, Melila Hellner-Eshed makes this challenging,
esoteric masterpiece meaningful for everyday readers. Hellner-Eshed
expertly unpacks the Idra Rabba's rich grounding in tradition, its
probing of hidden layers of consciousness and the psyche, and its
striking, sacred images of the divine face. Leading readers of the
Zohar on a transformative adventure in mystical experience,
Seekers of the Face allows us to hear anew the Idra
Rabba's bold call to heal and align the living faces of God.
