Concealed within the Beatitudes is a world many readers have never visited. When Jesus spoke the eight blessings of Matthew 5, he was drawing from the living well of Jewish wisdom that shaped his worldview.

This tradition has continued to develop the inner teachings of the soul for two thousand years. Today, we call it Mussar, the Jewish path of ethical and spiritual refinement.

In this book, we read the sayings of Jesus through that light, alongside Chasidic stories, modern parables, and the ever-flowing wisdom of the Rabbinic tradition.

This document contains a collection of the most common Midrashic metaphors and themes from the Rabbinic tradition. This will aid readers in understanding the multi-faceted meaning behind Hebrew words, parables, and the first-century Jewish context.

Learn how many parables are centered around the joy and enlightenment of the Torah, the wisdom of the Creator.

This ebook will attempt to offer a starting point to understanding the complex subject of the Sefirot, as represented in Jewish tradition.
