Abstract

SHEKHINAH is one of the key concepts in the Judaism and especially in the mystical tradition of KABBALAH. Although this concept is comparable with the concept of sakinah in the Islamic culture, its meaning is more extended and more complicated. According to the KABBALAH’s ontology there are ten sefirahs (divine qualities) in the cosmos that SHEKHINAH is the last but not the least of them. Sometime SHEKHINAH is described as a personified being that lives among people and sometime it is regarded as the God’s permanent presence in the world. However, in general SHEKHINAH is mediator between the EIN SOF (the Infinite) and universe that without it our universe lose its order. The word SHEKHINAH first appeared in Talmud however its early meaning has been transformed throughout history- especially in Kabbalistic literture and under the influence of Gnostic Sophia. In studying SHEKHINAH the most important thing is the prominent role that this sefirah have played in realizing the order of cosmos and reestablishing peace for the sons of Israel. Meditation, contemplation and devotion to the religious practice cause the SHEKHINAH to descend on the Jewish believers and connect it to EIN SOF. On the contrary, neglecting to live under the divine commandments and the Laws of Scripture cause the SHEKHINAH to leave the world.
