Zusammenfassung:This article introduces an innovative approach for interpreting the teachings of Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook and mystical literature in general. Employing statistical computational analysis and big data analysis tools, the author proposes a comprehensive methodology comprising multiple tests to diagnose the essential characteristics of Rabbi Kook’s most mature work, Shemona Qevaṣim. The findings establish the homogeneous nature of the eight notebooks that comprise Shemona Qevaṣim, thereby providing a framework for systematically examining edited books and treatises based on materials derived from Shemona Qevaṣim. This framework also offers tools to redefine fundamental aspects of Kook’s teachings.
