The Sefer HaShem section, which is published here for the first time ever, is in this edition. However, if your interest are the other sections of Sodei Razaya then we recommend the other edition, Sodei Razya HaShalem. Rabbi Elazar provides a study of creation stemming from the power of the Hebrew alphabet. He cites and quotes Merkavah and Heichalot literature. He then describes the realm and characteristics of angels, the Divine Throne, the Chariot, and the Divine Voice. The rest of the work focuses on God's names, the fate of the soul after death, the meaning of dreams, and a large practical guide for the creation of a golem.
