Abraham of the Bible devoted his life to seeking out and revealing the unified Power that underlies the manifest plurality and unity of all creation. Abraham’s search for God is expressed not only in the biblical narrative but also in Sefer Yetzirah, the “Book of Formation”, foundational text of the Kabbalah, which he wrote. In it he presents the twenty-two letters of the Aleph Beit as the fundamental coordinates and elements of creation, showing how to combine and manipulate these Letters of Creation in order to channel beneficial influences through meditation and prayer.
