The goal of this dictionary is to provide a genuine picture of the true Kabbalah. In the very rare books that deal seriously with the subject, the concepts of the Zohar and the Kabbalah are often quoted but not explained.  The study of Kabbalah involves a good comprehension of its general idea, as well as its details.  Unfortunately, there are today numbers of books that use the name "Kabbalah" in their title, yet the great majority does not deal with Kabbalah at all, but rather of often questionable esoteric subjects.

To learn the Kabbalah, it is necessary to be familiar with its usual terms and appellations, because in the language of Kabbalah, particular expressions and metaphors, as well as anthropomorphisms are used. It is of course, well understood, that there is no physical existence at these higher levels. Thus, when terms such as mouth, ears, or other body parts are used, the intention is to describe the esoteric power of these forces, or the position they symbolize.
