Description

We know that Avraham is associated with "cheesed," but what does that really mean? To better understand this, we give a brief introduction to kabbalah as a whole and specifically the seven sefirot or middot. What are they? Why are they so integral to understanding Torah and service of God? What is Avraham's place in them? The paradigm we present will lay the groundwork for the rest of Sefer Bereishit.
