This article presents Jewish meditation according to HaBaD mysticism. This is but one limited view within the broader Jewish mystical tradition and should be made explicit in the article. A survey of the various forms of Jewish meditation is still needed.

I would say that by now the above statement is no longer true. Narcissus14 (talk)

The Sources

I wrote the orginal article and took most all the information from a book written by the "Mitler Rebbe" Rabbi Dov Ber of Lubavitch, the 3rd of the Chassdic masters of the Chabad Dynasty. The book is called "Shaar HaYichud" (eng. "Gate of Unity") and is printed as one part of a book called "Ner Mitzvah VeTorah Ohr" (the candle of a mitzvah and the light of the Torah) which was printed by Kehot Publication Society in 1995 and printed again in 2003. This information is drawn from the Chapters 1-9 of "Shaar HaYichud" which is found on pages 217-232.

I don't know how to do sources on Wikipedia, so help me out, but please DON"T DELETE!

To find out how to put up sources on Wiki., look at the 'edit page' of, for example and because it has all the forms of referencing, Kabbalah. There, within the text, you'll see formats for sourcing, connecting to a 'Notes' section at the bottom of the page, and for directly sourcing to external links. If you're really stuck, temporarily put up a 'Reference' subsection and type out your references: title, publisher, date, chapter and page. Abafied 23:26, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sephardic endings

It seems to me that in most cases that Sephardic (Israeli) endings (Daat instead of Daas) are used in Wikipedia articles. If no one minds, I would like to change the spellings to that form. The difference could effect if wiki-links work or not. Kwork 23:34, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

In fact, when I tried just now Daas linked to an Indian film. Daat linked to the correct Kabbalistic article. Kwork 23:40, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
