“Every human being is a micro-cosm
(olam
qatan),
and
the world as a whole is a macro-human being.”
– Rabbi Yitzhaq of
Acre (14th Century Kabbalist)
Olam Qatan is a bookstore in Jerusalem offering spiritual
and holistic books in English and Hebrew, and sponsoring
lectures, workshops and other special events.
We recently published the first book of our own, a
translation from Persian to Hebrew of selections from the
Diwan by Jelaluddin
Rumi. We are also a center for World Music, especially the
new East-West Music, Oriental Music and Jewish spiritual
music coming out of Israel. With the launching of this
web-site, our favorite CDs and books can now be purchased
all over the world. Welcome to the “small world” of Olam
Qatan!
