Kabbalah, meaning received tradition, names the Jewish mystical teachings that took shape in Provence and Spain in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, culminating in the Zohar, and were transformed in sixteenth-century Safed by Isaac Luria. It teaches that the infinite God manifests through ten sefirot and that human action repairs the divine.
