Hisbonenus -Summation	Previous	Close Window

Hisbonenus (analytic study) followed by Haamakas Hadaas (Contemplative concentration on the subject matter of the Hisbonenus) is the Method used by the Kabbalists. This is why Hisbonenus has two Nun's. In order to do the Hisbonenus properly the material must be reread over and over. In the Olden Days The Kabbalists would study each Chapter at least 100 times.

In our days a beginner is recommended 5 times.

There is a story of a Chassidic Kabbalistic Student who was told to study the Maamars (kabalistic reatises repeated by one of the Masters) 60 times.

The subject of this Hisbonenus is the The Hishtalshelus - The Chaining down of the Something from the Nothing

This will be covered in later sections
