Jewish Mysticism is known as the Kabbalah—“ receiving”- for it has traditionally been passed down directly from father to son, rabbi to pupil, generation to generation.
It is a tremendous undertaking to present the challenging and vast concepts of the Kabbalah on a single medal – and this is exactly what Israel has attempted to do, in medals of 1 oz. pure gold or silver, and in bronze. This may be the first official government medal which can also be seen as an amulet, inasmuch as it also features Psalm 67, artfully written in the form of a Menorah (the seven-branched candelabrum), which itself is considered an amulet for protection and success in life.
The central concept of the Kabbalah is a system of 10 Sefirot, the ten attributes of G-d, through which the Diety interacts with the universe. The 10 Sefirot are here represented on a tree with the Keter, the Supreme Crown at its peak. They are:

Hokhmah – Wisdom
Binah – Intelligence
Hesed – Love
Gevurah – Power
Tiferet – Beauty
Nezah – Endurance
Hod – Majesty
Yesod – Foundation
Malkhut – Sovereignty
(and above all of them, “Keter”, the Supreme Crown).

The Kabbalah has been deeply rooted in ancient Hebrew mysticism and Jewish thought. Only in the 12th and 13th centuries, in Spain and Provence, however, did Kabbalists popularize its wisdom, through the Book of the Zohar. Printing of the main books of the Kabbalah further spread and popularized it, and the wisdom of the Kabbalah has since no longer belonged only to a select group of scholars.
Since revealed to the people at large, the Kabbalah has become a source of wisdom sought after worldwide, attracting people from all walks of life. Within it, one finds hope for a better world, light in the darkness for both individual and community, reassurance, peace of mind, joy and love. The singer Madonna, as well as other international celebrities, have discovered and become students of the Kabbalah and this has broadened the appeal of this journey of exploration into the meaning of life.
