Ishim (angel)
text:
The Ishim are the lowest tier of angels in the cosmology of Maimonides. "These", writes Maimonides, "are the angels which speak with the prophets and appear to them in visions. They are called Men because their tier is almost within reach of the human mind". The Ishim later appear in the Zohar, which copied this term from Maimonides. Samuel ibn Tibbon speculated that the term "ishim" has a lost Talmudic origin. Reuven Rappaport suggested Midrash Proverbs to 8:4, which contrasts two terms for men
