Finally - Started!

It took me a while, but I have been very busy.
I bought a book by Rav Berg (check here), and have been reading it, before I take the risk of going to a lecture or two at the Kabbalah Centre. I am quite overwhelmed by all that is happening at work, so I need to dedicate some time to considering the content and meaning of the book.

Berg is Kabbalah Leader

Rav Berg, the founder and leader of the Kabbalah Center, which has grown to many cities around the US as well as internationally, is a Kabbalah Leader. Rav Berg studied with some of the greatest Kabbalistic masters of the contemporary age, and as Rav Berg himself testifies, he was appointed to continue the Kabbalist traditions, and he was also told to open the doors of the Kabbalah to the masses. This is quite interesting and revolutionary, as traditionally the Kabbalah was studied by a select few Jewish Kabbalists. The Kabbalah Centre opened the light of the Kabbalah to the masses and especially English speaking people.

Teaching Kabbalah

I have a very basic knowledge of what it takes to be able to decipher the Kabbalah texts. It isn't only a question of being able to understand the literal meaning of the texts, which aren't all written in English, but also a question of the concepts.

The Kabbalah Centers on many concepts that repeat themselves over again and without knowing these base concepts there is quite a bit you will miss.
The answer is to find a teacher - or Rav - who can lead you through the fundamental Kabbalah central concepts.
