Derech Emunah
The Way of Faith · R’ Meir ibn Gabbai
R’ Meir ibn Gabbai, carried out of Spain as a child in the expulsion and one of the foremost Kabbalists before the Arizal, completed Derech Emunah in 1539 as a reply to a student’s ten questions on the foundations of Kabbalah: how the world has a Governor, why there must be sefiros, why ten, and how they are one with the One G-d. When the seforim came home after Didan Notzach, the Rebbe had it reprinted at once, and on Shabbos Parshas Vayetzei 5748 he learned its opening answers in a sicha. Here it is in fully vocalized Hebrew with an interlinear English translation and elucidation, a summary and titled sections in every answer, insights from the Rebbe’s sicha beside the opening chapters, the whole sicha newly translated as an appendix, and an Index of Subjects and an Index of Sources.
