Dov Elboim, an influential - at least for me - personality in bridging the gap between the various schools of Judaism in Israel, has begun advertising a Hebrew release of Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan's book on Sepher Hayetzirah - the Book of Formation, attributed to the Patriarch Abraham and passed down thru oral tradition ubtill it was finally brought to print - in several different versions, Sefer HaYetzira is the basis on which Jewish Mysticism was developed, and together with the revival of interest in Mysticism of all kinds, Jewish mysticism included, it is understandable that it is now being published in Hebrew.
The info-ad got me thinking - and goggling, and I want to share with you here a set of video interviews made with Rabbi Kaplan before his death in 1983
