Devekut,
debekuth,
deveikuth or
deveikus (
Heb. דבקות; Mod. Heb. "dedication", traditionally "clinging on" to
God) is a Jewish concept referring to closeness to God. It may refer to a deep, trance-like
meditative state attained during
Jewish prayer,
Torah study, or when performing the
613 mitzvot (the "commandments"). It is particularly associated with the Jewish mystical tradition.
