The original man in the teachings of Kabbalah, untainted by earthly matter. He stands in contrast to the Adam of Eden, who was made from earthly clay. He was the perfect prototype man made by God, with the Kabbalists taking this concept to describe the divine symbolism of the human body.

He is symbolized by the Sephiroth, which are the Ten Circles of Creation in the Kabbalah.
