Kuntres Mattan Torah

I have long been plagued by daily pangs of conscience urging me to go beyond my own confines and write a comprehensive essay on the soul of Judaism and its religion and the knowledge of the origins of the wisdom of Kabbalah and to distribute it in public so people will gain from it proper knowledge and general understanding of these very important subjects, according to their true nature and character.

In past eras, in the Jewish world, before the printing press became available in the world, we had no fake books discussing the soul of Judaism and similar subjects, since there was almost no author irresponsible in his words in our midst. The reason is simple: an irresponsible person in most cases is not famous. Thus, if by any chance one dared to write such a composition, no copier would find copying the book profitable, because he would not be compensated for his work, which usually amounts to a considerable sum. Thus, the author would be destined to be forgotten.
