For a long time Hebrew meditation was seen as an invention or import from other cultures; yet it has always existed, its best-known exponent probably being the thirteenth-century Kabbalist Abraham Abulafia. Extending the work of Gershom Scholem and Moshe Idel, Aryeh Kaplan shows that this practice has its roots in the Bible itself. Passed on from master to disciple from the Patriarchs to the present day, cultivated by the prophets, it is based on the symbolic interpretation of texts such as the vision of Ezekiel. The author also stresses the value of the Psalms, which function as "mantras" to help concentration and elevation. Having become a classic in the United States, this fundamental book opens up, as Marc-Alain Ouaknin points out, new avenues for reading the Bible.
