Marty McFly è un ragazzo come tanti: vive in una cittadina di provincia, frequenta svogliatamente la scuola, ama il rock degli anni Ottanta, ha ovviamente un paio di genitori, anche se non della miglior specie. Se non ci fosse la tenerezza di Jennifer, la bella e spigliata compagna di scuola, e soprattutto la complice amicizia con "Doc" Brown, un eccentrico scienziato, per Marty la vita sarebbe qualcosa da cui sfuggire.

La Cabala è un sistema di pensiero esoterico e mistico fondato sui testi sacri ebraici. Considerata da molti come l'aspetto esoterico degli insegnamenti di Mosè, raggiunse il suo apice nel Medio Evo, un periodo di intensa ricerca per "definire l'indefinibile" e comprendere l'Universo, manifestazione di Ayn Soph, il Nulla, l'Infinito. Questo testo illustra la nascita e lo sviluppo del misticismo ebraico, i suoi rapporti con il mondo cristiano, la sua diffusione in Europa e nel bacino mediterraneo, e i temi fondamentali come il concetto di Dio, la dottrina delle Sefirot e delle Shemittot, il problema del Male, il significato della Torah e la Creazione. La seconda parte del libro esplora gli elementi e le correnti che hanno influenzato il pensiero cabalistico: lo Zohar, lo Shabbateanismo, il Frankismo, la Demonologia, l'Escatologia, la Gematria, la Meditazione e il Misticismo della Merkabah. La terza parte esamina le personalità che hanno segnato il pensiero cabalistico, da Azriel di Gerona a Isaac Luria. Attraverso un lavoro sistematico di ricerca, l'autore chiarisce questa dottrina mistica ed esoterica, una delle più potenti e affascinanti mai elaborate dall'uomo nel suo anelito alla Conoscenza.
