The Invisible Stairway

Now publicly available for the first time ever: 

The Invisible Stairway: Kabbalistic Meditations on The Hebrew Letters
By Samuel Ben-Or Avital

These meditations and articles were collected from various writings, as well as public and private talks, by Samuel Ben-Or Avital, and formed into a manuscript in 1982 for private publication. The manual was created for a few students who needed to learn Hebrew in a certain way so that they would have access to reading some Kabbalistic sources in Hebrew. A few instructions for the proper Sephardic pronunciation of the Hebrew Letters were added. It is with great festivity that we announce this first public edition of The Invisible Stairway.   This book is a proposition to study, partly, the spiritual and cosmic essential codes of the Hebrew letters in a certain way, simple and direct. It is also meant to assist the student in reading the Biblical Hebrew TORAH properly, and not just in its distorted translations. It will open a gateway to really know what the Torah has concealed within its historic and spiritual simplicity. Courage to you who dare to learn and earn the unique way of a new understanding of the great universe and realities we live in at “these times.”

“It is up to you to find out how to 'eat' it." – Samuel Ben-Or Avital 

“In the midst of Fame, keep me hidden.”  – Samuel Ben-Or Avital  

"Samuel Ben-Or Avital is 'the hidden Kabbalist of Boulder'." – Rabbi Zalman Meshullam Schachter-Shalomi, Boulder, Colorado.  

"The letters are words like bodies, meanings are like soul; A letter, a word not opened, is like a dream not interpreted. Words without thoughts are like a foot without muscle." – Commentary on Exodus 20.1, Moshe Ben Ezra, Spanish Jewish Philosopher, c. 1055-1135  

“We are all, without exception, crazy. The saving grace of Avital's craziness is that it is concerned with his own spirituality. This concern has consumed every day of his life, and however myopic it may appear to some, it is the matrix and meaning of Avital, the man and the artist." – Paul J. Curtis, Director The American Mime Theatre, New York, 1965.  

"If you seek some truth or direction in life or art, stay close to Samuel for he might just then crawl out of his shell and give you of his soul." – Moni Yakim Juilliard School, Movement Division, New York
