Jewish Resources:

These sources come from zionist/liberal zionist and anti-zionist authors. However, the Jewish texts and sources that the authors quote predate Zionism. I post these sources to democratize access to Jewish mysticism which was mostly a closed tradition- and when opened only to certain men- and to reclaim these sources and build new radical futures rooted in Kaballah and Jewish Mysticism.
