Chayei HaOlam HaBa | Rabbi Abraham Abulafia | חיי העולם הבא | Samson Edition

Chayei HaOlam HaBa is one of the central foundational works of Prophetic Kabbalah. Authored by Rabbi Abraham Abulafia, it explores higher spiritual perception, meditation, the Divine Names, and the inner structures of the Hebrew letters through a disciplined method of intellectual refinement and contemplative practice. The work presents Abulafia’s unique approach to inner elevation and experiential knowledge of the Divine, a path that stands apart within the Kabbalistic tradition.

This Hebrew Samson Edition is based on a meticulous reconstruction of the original text through a comparison of four early manuscripts, including material never before published. Edited by Rabbi David Samson, the volume restores the authentic textual tradition of this deeply esoteric work.

The edition includes rare tables and graphical diagrams illustrating permutations of Divine Names, clarifying Abulafia’s ancient contemplative techniques. Clear notation of segulot marks words of numerical significance, and extensive cross references illuminate Abulafia’s often enigmatic allusions. Multiple scholarly indexes are provided, including indexes by book and subject, along with a comprehensive index of all gematriot and abbreviations.

Designed for serious study and collection, this deluxe edition features a calligraphic layout modeled after the historic British manuscript and is bound in high quality leather. Widely regarded as one of the deepest works in Kabbalistic literature, Chayei HaOlam HaBa has influenced generations of kabbalists and scholars and remains an essential volume for any Torah library devoted to the wisdom of Kabbalah and the hidden dimensions of Torah.
