Kabbalah Centre Information

Have you seen the new book by Yehuda Berg? It is called “Kabbalah: The Power to Change Everything.” He is writing it in a blog form, putting each new chapter up on-line and allowing readers to post their comments about each chapter.

According to Yehuda, this book is “a commentary on our world, offering the kabbalistic perspective on what went wrong with religion, the global economy, the environment, and more.”
Yehuda states that he wants readers’ feedback so that his book can address the needs of his readers more accurately and sensitively.

The model for writing the book this way is actually based on the traditional way Kabbalah was taught/learned throughout history. There was not a “frontal” approach of the teacher “lecturing to his students. Rather, in a one-on-one fashion the teacher would present an idea or information, and the student asked questions about the teaching in order to better understand it and get the most out of the information for his own life.

The hope of Yehuda Berg’s on-line book is to get his readers to experience this back and forth dialogue so that the teachings in the book become relevant and useful to make life changes.

At the Kabbalah Centre the goals are to bring the wisdom of the Kabbalah to as many people as possible, so that each person can not only change his own life, but effect and change the lives of everyone he/she comes in contact with.

In the modern world, where everyone is connected and interconnected through social networking and other computer technologies, the power to effect people has grown exponentially. Especially now the Kabbalah is crucial to re- making the world so that all people can live the rewarding lives they were born to live.

The Kabbalah Center offers a large selection of books to explore the concepts and ideas that the Kabbalah teaches. Included is an especially nice group of books for children which teach the basic ideas of Kabbalah in a simple, fairy-tale type style, written by Madonna.

Here is a brief description of a few of these beautifully illustrated books:

• Lotsa de Casha- A wealthy man, Lotsa de Casha, discovers that no matter how much money he has and what he can buy with it, this does not lead to happiness. But in the end he does find the way to happiness, and finds a friend, too.
• Yaakov and the Seven Thieves- Using the Baal Shem Tov as inspiration, this story demonstrates how each one of us as the ability to open the gates of heaven, even those that believe they are not worthy. Miracles can happen when we defy our selfish nature.
• The Adventures of Abdi-Journeying to deliver a precious necklace to the Queen, the little Abdi encounters many obstacles which he overcomes by always remembering the wisdom his teacher Eli has bestowed on him: to never give up and always remember that in life everything is for the best.
