The Ethical Aspect of God’s Creation and the Sephirot


The focus of the work of Rav Berg at the Kabbalah Center is to help people use the teachings of the Kabbalah to improve themselves and then transform the world into the perfected place which is the goal of creation. Understanding how the sephirot interact with each other and are affected by human behavior helps us to improve our behavior.

When we look at the famous chart of the sephirot we see that there are two outer columns. The column on the right represent the sephirot which signify how God reveals more blessings in the world when mankind and individuals use their previous blessings with compassion. The sephirot on the left side correspond to the way God hides these blessings when people abuse them in a selfish way and without compassion. This is exactly how our behavior is responsible for whether or not God seems present or absent.

By studying the sephirot and the Kabbalah we can learn how to make the world a better place.
