Merkavah Rabbah (also known as the Greater Chariot)

Merkavah Rabbah, or the Greater Chariot, is a mystical concept from Jewish mysticism focusing on visions of God's divine throne and heavenly chariot, inspired by biblical descriptions in Ezekiel. It explores mystical experiences where one perceives divine glory, angels, and cosmic structures, serving as a spiritual journey toward understanding God's majesty. The imagery symbolizes the connection between the human soul and the divine, emphasizing spiritual ascent and divine revelation. Kadish, heavenly readings, and ascents are central themes, making it a key text in the development of Jewish mystical thought during late antiquity and the early Middle Ages.
