By way of brief introduction, I am a doctoral candidate in Jewish Thought at
Brandeis U.. While my interests range from biblical to modern, my specialty
is in Medieval Kabbalah. My dissertation takes me to early thirteenth
century Gerona, Spain where Rabbi Ezra ben Solomon was one of the first
Kabbalists to transmit the esoteric tradition in writing. I am preparing a
critical Hebrew edition, with English translation, notes and introduction of
his kabbalistic *Commentary on the Biblical Commandments* which is part of his
kabbalistic *Commentary on Song of Songs.*
