The term “So’dut” (סודות) is the plural form of “So’od” (סוד), which means “secret” or “mystery” in Hebrew. I use it as a general term to refer to the deeper, more esoteric aspects and secrets within Jewish mystical traditions, particularly Kabbalah.
While the specific term “So’odic” refers to a follower or adherent of the mystical teachings found in the Zohar (which contains many So’dot), the term “So’dut” itself is a broader Hebrew word used to denote mystical secrets and hidden wisdom within Jewish texts.
I use “So’dut” in the context of Kabbalistic and mystical approaches to emphasize the unveiling of hidden layers of meaning and the exploration of the esoteric dimensions of the Ruach HaKodesh.
