The Ramak was a copious writer of mysticism who lived in Safed during its golden era. His writings are the first to suggest reconciliation between the works of Maimonides and Kabbalah.
In this segment of Rabbi Yossi Paltiel’s “Intro to Kabbalah” series, he provides a historical context for the Ramak’s mystical teachings and describes his revolutionary attempt to synthesize philosophy with mysticism. This approach is continued by the Arizal and then even further developed by Chassidism.
