Kabbalah

The Many Faces of Kabbalah: the joint exhibition of the Judisches Museum (Jewish Museum) in Vienna and the Joods Historisch Museum (Jewish Historical Museum) in Amsterdam presented the various facets of Kabbalah, from the historical development and early Jewish mysticism, to practical Kabbalah and magic, to modern manifestations in art and popular culture. It followed the traces that Kabbalah has left in the most diverse forms of modern art: in painting, sculpture, design, literature, film, and music. Published to accompany the exhibition, this book provides an astonishing look behind the scenes of this hidden world .
