Kabbalah Centre Information

At the Kabbalah Center the Zohar is one of the fundamental resources used for connecting to the eternal spiritual light which is constantly emanating into our world. At every level of study the zohar conveys meaning to its students. Even for someone just beginning, merely scanning the letters in the original Aramaic without understanding the words benefits the pupil in deep spiritual ways. As the level of understanding deepens and expands, so to do the infinite spiritual benefits gleened from intense study. The Zohar is like a deep well whose water nurtures, expands and enlightens the consciousness and self-awareness of its thirsty drinkers. The Kabbalah Centre can help you open up the world of light emitted by the splendour of the Zohar.

The Zohar is a book, written in Aramaic, a semitic language related to Hebrew and written with Hebrew letters. The Hebrew word “zohar” means “splendour” or “shining” and it is one of the foundations for the study of the Kabbalah.

It is incorrect to think of the Zohar as just another book that imparts information with which we become educated or even enlightened. The properties and effects of the Zohar go much deeper, to a spiritual level which cannot be conveyed using only words.

For instance, the very letters that the Zohar is written with carry much more meaning than symbols of the way we sound out words. Unlike other languages where the shapes and sounds of the written letters are  understood to merely convey a sound, letters in Hebrew actually carry their own meanings and essences. It is enough to just scan the letters without even knowing the sounds they represent in order to connect to the spiritual energy inherent in each letter. In this way we can connect to the Source of that spirituality, the source of all life and goodness. The Zohar is the gateway to the spiritual source of creation.
