Publisher's Synopsis
B"H It is well known that the late Rabbi Chaim Vital revealed and discovered TEFACH (about three inches) in the Torah of the AR"I Z"L and covered it in the ALPAYIM AMAH (two thousands miles), and it is also known that each issue is not complete and is scattered throughout the length and breadth of his holy books. Rabbi Chaim Vital also coded and mixed the subjects in each chapter. He purposely wrote in some place in his books the opposite of the truth and much of his writings are written in acronyms. In his introduction, he wrote that he was writing the teachings of the AR"I in an abridged form. The reason he wrote it in this fashion is so that not everybody would understand his teachings. He wanted only those who were worthy to be able learn his works. Up to the beginning of the 1800's, there was only one yeshiva in Yerushalayim that had been learning Rabbi Chaim Vital's works. It was YESHEVAT BEIT EL. From the mid 1800's his teachings of Kabbalah were spread throughout. Rabbi Shaul Dwek, Rabbi Yosef Chaim from Bagdad and Rabbi Yehuda Pitayah encouraged everyone to learn Kabbalah, in order everyone can go inside the PARDE'S. There are four ways of understanding every SUGIYAH (subject) in the teachings of the AR'I. DARUSH Ha'DAT OVI V'ORECH PEMIYUT V'HETZOYONET ERKIN When I wrote my interpretations on the book ETZ CHAIM, I used the above four subjects to explain each SUGIYAH. Included is KLALLIM (Rules) and AKADAMOT (axioms/a self-evident truth that requires no proof). Before every subject, I wrote a preface explaining what the Rabbi would be talking about. You will be able to see in my books that I have put the puzzle together. Proof is brought down from Rabbi Chaim Vital, the Zohar, Talmud and their commentaries. Each subject I have broken down to pieces, brought proofs from all that is mentioned above, and have made colored diagrams and tables. In my books I have uncovered the acronyms for you. This will enable you to easily understand each subject without having to research it on your own. AH"I
