"APPLES FROM THE ORCHARD" burst upon the world in 2006. 1086 large-size hard-bound pages (plus another 46 pages of introductions and indices) of deep mystical insights from the recorded teachings of Rabbi Yitzchak Luria (the "holy Arizal" of Safed) on the Weekly Torah portion, now translated into English by Moshe-Yakov Wisnefsky, who also wrote a unique and extensive commentary deciphering these difficult esoteric teachings in a manner relevant for both advanced and beginning students of Kabbalah alike.
The 'Arizal' unfolds before us a hidden dimension of the stories and laws of the Torah, showing how they reflect the inner dynamics of reality and how our knowledge and observance of the Torah is crucial to the proper functioning of creation. This book presents a choice selection of these teachings, together with interpolated explanations that clarify the original text's terse prose as well as a commentary that shows how these sometimes obscure teachings can be applied to everyday life.
