Rabbi Daniel Biton Explores Practical Kabbalah and Hidden Worlds

By כיכר השבת, יוסי עבדו
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

Rabbi Daniel Biton, head of the "Ha'Or" institute, discussed the relevance of practical Kabbalah today in a new episode of the program "Yitgadal V'Yitkabal," hosted by Yossi Abdo. Biton addressed topics such as amulets, the evil eye, sorcery, and dybbuks, exploring their origins and meaning.

During the interview, Rabbi Biton presented rare manuscripts from prominent Kabbalistic figures including Rabbi Moshe Cordovero (RAMAK), Rabbi Avraham Dov Ber Tiktin (Ha'Admor mi'Tiktin), and Rabbi Yosef Karo (Mar'an Beit Yosef). He shared stories connected to thousands of books and delved into the realm of practical Kabbalah, a mystical tradition focused on achieving tangible results through esoteric practices.

The discussion also touched upon intriguing elements like a candle that was lit, a secret from the Vatican, and a manuscript that the rabbi is hesitant to publish. The episode aims to shed light on these often-hidden aspects of Jewish mysticism and their contemporary significance.
