[10e] Name this mystical Jewish tradition followed by Isaac Luria whose foundational text is the Zohar.

ANSWER: Kabbalah

[10m] In Kabbalistic tradition, these things are emanations of the Ohr Ein Sof (“or ane SOHF”) that are revealed in the world. These things are the nodes on Kabbalah’s tree of life diagram.

ANSWER: sefirot [or sephiroth]
