Abstract
Jewish mysticism is a mystical understanding of mainstream Judaism begining from the fourth century B.C. It has different notions from the traditional judaism. One of the most important aspects of the mystical judaism is the Sephirot fiction which means process of creation. Second one deals with coming of Messiah, and other mystical union with God. It is known as Kabbalah. Historical development of this movement can be divided into five periods. First period, first century is developed under Persian influence and early Gnostisizm. Second, begins third century A.D. and arrives in around 11th. century. We call this period Merkabah mysticism. Third is Theosophistic Kabbalah, from 11th. century to 16th. century. Fourth one is Lurianic Kabbalah until 18th. century and last one Hasidic mysticism.
