Rabbi Isaac Luria (The Ari )
This stage in the development of Kabbalah is extremely important
to the Kabbalah of our generation. This is the period of “the
Ari,” Rabbi Isaac Luria. The Ari proclaimed the start of a period
of open mass study of Kabbalah.
Until the arrival of the Ari, the predominant study method
was that of the Ramak (Rabbi Moshe Cordovero) of Safed. It
was a method where a Kabbalist simply experienced the Upper
World, almost intuitively.
When the Ari came to Safed, however, it was clear that times
had changed. It was the middle of the 1500s, and the world
was moving toward the age of science and industry. The Ari
realized that Kabbalah study required a new and more systematic
method to meet the terms of a new and more scientific era. Not
all agreed so enthusiastically, but the Ramak himself, by then the
predominant Kabbalist of his time, abandoned his own method
and sat down to learn the new way from the new teacher, the Ari.
Many brows were raised at this step, but the 36-year-old Ari knew
what the generation needed, and the Ramak acknowledged it.
