Kabbalistic Teachings of the Female Prophets: The Seven Holy Women of Ancient Israel

Author(s): J. Zohara Meyerhoff Hieronimus

Judaica

The seven prophetesses of Israel - Sarah, Miriam, Devorah, Chanah, Avigail, Chuldah and Esther - lived between 1800 and 350 BCE. Their combined lives reflect a kabbalistic path of spiritual evolution that is as pertinent to our lives today as it was for the biblical communities in which they lived. From her studies of the Torah and classical gematria, Zohara Hieronimus shows that each prophetess is linked to a Sefirah on the kabbalistic Tree of Life: from creation, (Sarah), through learning correct moral action, (Devorah), to the promise of redemption and ultimately resurrection (Esther). Using the stories of their lives and teachings, Hieronimus reveals the relationship of each prophetess to the seven days of the week, the seven sacred species of Israel, the human body and Jewish holidays and rituals. This book presents the kabbalistic teachings of these holy women and what they reveal about the initiatory path of individual development and redemption. The seven prophetesses show that every person has a part to play in the repair of the world and Hieronimus gives a practical set of maps and spiritual guidelines for that journey.
