Etz Chayyim, Volume 2, The Tree of Life

Gates 9–18

Volume II of Etz Chayyim continues the detailed exposition of Lurianic cosmology with Gates 9 through 18, focusing on the configuration of the divine attributes (sefirot) within the structure of repair (tikkun), the formation of the Partzufim (divine personae), and their interrelations. Each page presents the Hebrew original, scholarly transliteration, and English translation in parallel columns. This section is essential for understanding how the broken vessels are reconstituted into stable structures capable of receiving and transmitting divine light.
