Tomer Devorah

Tomer Devorah or The Palm Tree of Deborah (Hebrew: תומר דבורה) was written in Hebrew in the middle of the 16th century by Moses ben Jacob Cordovero, a Jewish kabbalist in Safed, Ottoman Syria.[1] This short text deals mostly with the Imitation of God through the acquisition of divine traits, especially those of the sephirot.[2] The first edition was published in Venice in 1588.[1] Although not widely read among Jews today, it is popular in the musar movement, which focuses on the individual cultivation of the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy of God.
