Lurianic Kabbalah
Zimzum mystical tradition
Lurianic Kabbalah is a system of Jewish mystical thought developed by Isaac Luria in sixteenth-century Safed.
It introduced influential concepts: *tzimtzum* (God's contraction to make room for creation), the shattering of divine vessels, and *tikkun* (repair of the cosmos through human action).
These ideas reshaped Jewish spirituality and influenced Hasidism.
Lurianic Kabbalah emphasizes humanity's role in cosmic redemption.
