About the Tomer Devorah on TorahSages
Tomer Devorah was written by the Ramak, Rabbi Moshe Cordovero (1522–1570) of Tzfat, one of the great mekubalim, and first printed in Venice in 1588. Its teaching is that a person should resemble Hashem in his deeds (his creator). The first perek takes the Thirteen Middot of Rachamim in the pesukim of Michah, “Mi Kel kamocha,” and shows for each one how a person is to act the same way, such as bearing an insult and still doing good to the one who gave it. The perakim that follow go through the other middot of Hashem as the kabbalah teaches them and draw from each the conduct it asks of a person. It is a short sefer and is learned in yeshivot and in homes.
TorahSages has the complete Tomer Devorah, all ten perakim.
