Rechovot Ha-Da’at is the central post-Vital anthology built around Rabbi Chaim Vital’s Derush Ha-Da’at, long regarded as the essential introduction to the Lurianic system. It gathers major commentaries of Rabbi Shalom Sharabi (Rashash), Rabbi Shalom Buzaglo, Rabbi Yitzchak Yehuda Yechiel Safrin of Komarno, Rabbi Nissim Chaim Moshe Mizrachi, and early transmitters of the tradition, alongside a systematic treatment of Da’at and a framework for the mystical writing of the divine Name. Its core claim, following Vital, is structural: without the organizing principle of Skull, Brains, and Body applied across the divine configuration, the Lurianic corpus and its Kavvanot cannot be coherently understood.

This first translation includes a comprehensive introduction, glossary, structural reference tables, writing commentary, and bibliography — making a foundational but previously inaccessible work available to scholars and serious practitioners alike.
