Rabbi Avraham Sutton is an Orthodox Torah mentor, teacher, and author. For over 30 years he has been learning and teaching prophetic Torah, kabbalah, talmud, midrash, chassidut, prayer and meditation, and sacred song. He has translated, edited and/or authored over 20 major works in English on the deeper significance of Torah for our age.

Born in 1949 in Los Angeles to Syrian Sefardic parents, he attended the University of California (U.C.L.A., Berkeley, Santa Cruz), graduating in 1972 with a major in “Communication” (which included the History of Religion and Mythology, History of Consciousness, and the Psychology of Dreams and the Soul).

Following this, from 1985-1990, he was the head of English research and development for Arachim Seminars in Israel, and the sole researcher, translator, and editor of Pathways to the Torah, the official sourcebook used in Arachim and Discovery Seminars worldwide. During this time he edited and updated Survival—Israel and Mankind by Rabbi Raphael Eisenberg (posthumously, with the author’s widow), which has since been translated into French, Russian, and most recently Hebrew.

He compiled, edited, and annotated Innerspace—Introduction to Kabbalah, Meditation and Prophecy from transcripts of classes given by the late Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan. Since its publication in 1990, Innerspace continues to be considered one of the finest introductions to authentic Jewish mysticism in the English language. Subsequently, he edited the second volume of Rabbi Kaplan’s celebrated Handbook of Jewish Thought.

He was also co-author of a unique website, The 2001 Principle, dedicated to bridging the gap between the Torah and the most advanced theories of science. His own website, AvrahamSutton.com —which features his Torah teachings in written, audio, and video format—is dedicated to raising consciousness about the relationship between personal and collective redemption, and how these two levels of redemption go hand in hand. Personal redemption involves the potential that each and every human has to develop a personal relationship with the Creator. Collective redemption involves the final awakening of Israel and Mankind to its highest calling. The relationship between these two permeates his teaching and his writing.

In 1995, Sutton began learning from Rabbi Shmuel Darzi zt”l, one of the last great mekubalim of Yerushalayim. In the eleven-year period during which he prayed and learned with Rav Darzi, his teaching and writing were catapulted to a completely new level. Under the Rav’s auspices, he taught a weekly class in the teachings of the Leshem Shvo veAchlamah (of Rabbi Shlomo Elyashiv z”l) in the Rav’s synagogue on Rechov Rashi in Makor Barukh for seven years. He was also given permission to translate more and more of the secret teachings of Torah that our generation needs in order to grasp what is required of us—individually and collectively—at this crucial time.
