Drush HaTanninim: The Discourse of the Dragons - Rabbi Yosef ibn Tabul($32.00Value)

Description

Come and see, friends Drush HaTanninim by the divine kabbalist, our teacher, Rabbi Yosef Ibn Tabul of blessed memory , is a rare and historical Sefer that opens a different window into the teachings of the holy Arizal . Most who enter the world of Lurianic Kabbalah do so through Rabbi Chaim Vital , the foremost disciple who preserved the teachings in a single, enduring form—but he was not alone. Among the students of the Arizal stood Rabbi Yosef Ibn Tabul, whose writings preserve a distinct and lesser-known transmission , offering a rare glimpse into how these mysteries were received and expressed in the earliest generation. At the center of this Sefer is a deep commentary on Parashat Bo in the Zohar (34a–35b) , on the passage of the great dragons , where the secret of the dragons and Leviathan is unfolded as part of the hidden structure of creation—revealing a profound balance of division and unity, concealment and revelation, exile and repair . For centuries, this Sefer remained scattered across manuscripts— shortened, expanded, and at times even attributed to the Arizal himself —leaving its full form obscured. This edition restores that history , presenting for the first time both the long and short versions together in one volume, alongside a precise interlinear English translation that allows the reader to follow the text word by word . This is a preserved voice from within the circle of the Arizal—a rare and historical Sefer that reveals a lesser-known path into the teachings of the Zohar and the mystery of the Great Dragons.
