'''Tiferet''' or '''Tifaret''', '''Tifereth''', '''Tyfereth''', '''Tiphereth''' ({{HeS|תפארת}} "beauty, splendour, glorification"), also known (by name in the [[Zohar]]) as '''Rachamim''' ({{HeS|רחמים}} "mercy") or '''Shalom''' ({{Hebrew|שלום}} "peace") is the sixth [[sefira]] on the [[Tree of Life of Kabbalah]] and forms its centre, bringing about harmony and balance. Together with [[Chesed]] (mercy) and [[Gevurah]] (austerity), it forms the middle triad of the Tree of Life, representing the [[soul world]], called [[Briah]] in Kabbalah. Below Tiferet, the veil [[Paroketh]] ({{Hebrew|פָּרֹ֫כֶת}} "curtain, veil") separates the [[soul world]] from the [[physical-etheric world]].

Tiferet forms the '''sixth path''' of the [[32 paths of wisdom]] and stands for the intelligence of the separating influence.

Tiferet is also the centre of the six inner sefirot, whose vessels were destroyed in the so-called [[breaking of the vessels]] ([[shevirat ha-kelim]]) in the course of the event of [[creation]], and then together they were transformed into the [[Partzuf]] ("face") [[Zeir Anpin]] ({{Hebrew|זעיר אנפין}} "the short-tempered, impatient"). According to the Kabbalists, the six inner sefirot also represent the six days of creation.
