The Gates of Holiness (shaarei keddushah)

The Shaarei Keddushah (the Gates of Holiness) is considered the quintessential book of practical Kabbalah . Written by Rabbi Chaim Vital , it is a manual to access holiness, which one of the most brilliant disciples of Isaac Luria wrote to show "what is the path that leads to the light that illuminates the secrets of the Torah" to those who wish to "learn how to raise their soul to its divine root".
