Abstract
This study outlines Abraham Abulafia’s distinctive place in Jewish mysticism, marked by both reverence and accusations of heresy. It surveys his life, writings, and prophetic-ecstatic Kabbalah, centered on letter permutations, disciplined breathing, and contemplative techniques aimed at uniting the human intellect with the divine. Abulafia’s practical path to mystical ecstasy highlights breath as the key bridge between body and spirit.
