Rabbi Trugman |
Rabbi Avraham Trugman is well known for his way
of teaching: he writes so simple, direct, easy manner that any beginner in studies
Torah Kabbalah can
understand, but of course, as the
study of Kabbalah requires
many years of study, more complex
concepts are exposed here,
requiring one has extensive knowledge
about Kabbalah, but at the end
of it all, the reader can learn and be
challenged to go one step above,
striving to learn. In "Secrets of the Magen David"
I realized this, and
the same thing in another book
that the author sent
us titled "Orchard of Delights,
The Ohr Chadash Torah
Commentary" (the masterpiece
of Rabbi Trugman),
in my opinion, we will review this book in July .
The author explains how and why the Magen David is an important
symbol for the Jewish
people. Based on Archeological, Scientific and Historical evidence,
we are told each use of the Star of David not
only for Jews, but also in other centuries and
civilizations. A very
interesting point, in the words
of Rabbi Trugman, he says "The essential connection between
the Magen David
and the Kabbalistic tradition ...", therefore, we can see the
mysteries and secrets never yet
explored and taught. There is a relationship with the Sefirot, Kabbalistic
Meditation, Permutations, etc.
So, many of the concepts in this
book comes from the Kabbalah
and Chassidut, I would
highlight the teachings of the Ba'al Shem Tov, the holy Arizal, and a
current long recognized Rav called Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh,
he gave his approbation to edit "Secrets of the Magen David."
The book is divided in two parts:
Part 1 “The historical evolution of the Magen David as a Jewish
symbol.
Part 2 “The spiritual meaning of the Magen David.
And appendixes with details about Kabbalistic concepts.
For scholars of Kabbalah, learn more about the Jewish Mysticism, there is never an end, Rabbi Trugman presents a series
of mystical implications
of the Magen David,
something still unexplored by teachers and rabbis.
