How Kabbalah Enriches the Siddur. Keynote address by Dr. Daniel C. Matt
Lekha Dodi is the most famous example of Kabbalistic influence, but the Zohar has provided several passages to the Sephardic and Ashkenazic liturgy. We will explore sone of these, including Raza de-Shabbat, Berikh shemeih, and Petah Eliyahu, as well as the Zohar’s mystical interpretations of the Shema and Kaddish Yatom. The PDF is available here.
