The Merkavah Rabbah

The Merkavah Rabbah, also known as the "Great Chariot," is an ancient Jewish mystical text that explores themes of divine encountering and heavenly visions, particularly inspired by the biblical prophetic visions in the Book of Ezekiel. It is part of a broader tradition known as Merkavah mysticism, which focuses on the ascent of the soul towards the divine throne or chariot of God. This text delves into the nature of reality, the structure of the divine realm, and the transformative experiences of spiritual seekers as they pursue closeness to God.
