I am a 62 year old non Jewish man who has only been studying Kabbalah and the Tree of Life for less than 2 months. In this short time reading books and with the help of wonderful videos like this, I can see that just about every "New Age" concept and belief I have ever come across has actually been " borrowed" from Kabbalah , LOL. Thank you so much for making and sharing these videos, greatly appreciated !! 🙏 Off to watch Part 2 now .
@@TempleIsraelMI Baruch Tihiye, and thank you so much for this kind offer, I will certainly bear this in mind. I am currently half way through part 4 of 5, and in my own work I am learning the Hebrew alphabet, to then use it as a greater understanding of the association with the pathways on the T of L. This is the most fascinating "thing" I have came across in my life. The way the multiple levels and meanings of the Hebrew alphabet work within the Bible alone is beyond mind blowing. Thank you so much for sharing all this wonderful wisdom, it is greatly appreciated. 🙏
The Higher Self (or spriritual/loving beings) usually won’t impose itself/themselves on you without you willing it or giving permission. If the voice is peaceful and patient then more power to you, we all operate differently and some of us are just more sensitive than others.
How amazing, Sal, to see you finishing all five classes. It sounds like you have really integrated these profound teachings in a beautiful way! If you would like to continue with a more advanced level class, here is what I would suggest: ruclips.net/p/PLn9spWvsCBvdNW_0VYbZL6DzrW5ovd1zq Feel free to be in touch with any questions at MSmolash@Temple-Israel.org
So far, this is the BEST beginning class on Kabbalah I’ve found on youtube. After watching the first class, I purchased Rabbi Wolf’s book. The book is easy to read and is loaded with information, however, it isn’t necessary to have a copy to get a lot out of these classes. But, like this video, the book covers the basics and is very understandable. A great into into a topic with incredible depth and complexity. I feel this series of classes with the book has provided a very good foundation for future studies. The material is presented clearly, the video/audio quality is good and the teacher really knows the material. Thanks to all involved for sharing these classes with the public.
Thank you Cantor Smolesh for this series of talks, I found them a very comprehensive and illuminating introduction in to what can appear to be quite a daunting subject. Very well communicated, thanks again.
Thankyou a sage once said teasingly, “The game of life, is let’s pretend....and then....let’s pretend, that we are no longer pretending.” In other words, let’s pretend that this being is called A and another being is called B. Then let’s believe our mind stuff nonsense. Other sages tease, that once you try to explain a thing, using words, then life is teasing you, because you can’t explain, the unexplainable. However there is a kind of knowing, which in silence, the inner consciousness is present, just being, being within the moment of now. The tree theme, being a series of themes, to prompt the student, to explore within, their own being, what ever they are experiencing in within that given moment in time. Yet Time is a mind theme, in a sense of silence, one goes beyond time. All energies can be explained, as first there was fire energy, then water was there, to stop fire burning everything. But the two elements, have air, to keep the fire and water energy balanced. ( fire would burn everything up, water would flood and cool everything down, so air balances ) Next the fire, water, air together, combine to make the earth element. So the human can be decided, into a vibratory energy, of earth, water, air, fire. The Fitch element being ether. So different explanations, devide, hips to feet, earth, hips to abdomen water, chest air, and head fire element. The beauty is that we are all mini Devine beings, housed in earth, water, air, fire, elements. The minds thoughts, therefore can separate us from the miracle of mixing with other beings, or it can unite us, then at that moment, it goes beyond words. Each person, will experience life from their individual perspective, because we are all having different experiences, like parents, environment, educational whatever. Reality we all have choices, to chose to be loving caring sharing beings. Sadly many of us chose stress, negative experiences, so we separate ourselves from the universal whole. Much love to you and all your viewers. All pathways lead ultimately to wholeness, life teases, all paths, lead to the one source. ☺️🌈👌
We ARE NOT ALL.COMPLETE...HENCE EVOLUTION...TO BE THE EQUIVALENCE OF LOVE...SOME , ALOT OF US HAVE A WAYS TO GO AND MIGHT DEVOLVE IN ORDER TO DO SO... WE ARE ALL NOT THE SAME... SOME CREATED FROM HIGH VIBES... SOME FROM LOW.. TYE KEY IS TO LOVE IN ORDER TO EVOLVE... NO TRUTH NO LOVE NO EVOLVE...
Some yes,some no. Not all pathways lead to wholeness or one source. And being one or returning to oneness or source is not necessarily a simple process for some folk burdened by baggage fears & inner realities
Wow... this has just given me more than you will ever know. For years I have been having downloads about how this world works, along with visions and apparitions (including blue "lights" /Beings appearing to me). Before I knew about Kabbalah, I was shown the Tree of Life in the night sky, with the sky grid behind it, and was told, "this is how you get to the other dimensions". Only now because of this video I have proof that others have experienced the same things and are being told the same things. When I looked up the 10 sefirot right now, they showed the SAME exact circles within a circle that I was shown as the dimensions of higher beings that create the dimension below it for higher levels of learning because they are further fractions from God. I am blown away right now. Thank you for this video I feel so validated in my experience right now.
So glad that our class spoke to you and reaffirmed your journey. I love your description of "further fractions from G0d". A very apt metaphor. Wishing you the highest blessings in both your learning and your teaching!
Some times when I go to bed for a sleep at night, just before falling sleep, there comes to my mind a great knowledge of everything like a flash of light (whatsoever problem I thought about during the day). The problem is the instant I start to think about what I understood or how I understood it evey thing vanishes from my mind and I wake up. This is a great mystery that I can't express throughout my life.
Welcome, and wonderful to have you learning with us, Anonomation. If you email me at MSmolash@Temple-Israel.org and let me know where you are based, happy to connect you with a community where you can put these techniques into everyday practice.
I've been watching videos on Kaballah for a couple months. I've basically gotten the tree of life down, as basic as it can get. I know more can be added etc. I've always been a mystic. Always on a search, loved seeing this. Wish I had an actual teacher. I'm smart but this isn't easy lol

Know this: All souls were once together, then from some force, we were all shattered. We all became single. Then with the shattering, a feeling of hatred was put over all of us. So that we couldn't come back to one another as one; The one-ness of the Universe. Now a new concept has been put over all of us, Covid-19. Its put in place, from the powers that be, so that we all can be afraid of each other. And not to want to come together as the Universe wants us to. We all need to come back to each other, so that we all can evolve to the 5th element. The 5th element, a higher form of being, living, feeling. To be more with the form of the Universe. That is what the experiment is, to come back together. To evolve spiritually. To be one with the Universe. ( I just thought of this) All the best Shaun of NYC
I believe there's a part of God in every human on earth. That is how different we are our diversity and abilities. Imagine uniting all humans, your guess is as good as mine.
Very interesting! Was looking for The Tree of Life, and morals after watching the Curse of Oak Island!..love the jokes, using the pharmacists cough joke; and the “Oh I thought this would be easier” comment at the end was hilarious. This is easy learning, grabbing the book by Wolf asap; …last comment is funny, because this is easy!
Perhaps you could use sefirot as colors of the spectrum emitted by the light, colored by the prism of the mind, body and soul needing to be perfected though knowledge and work, until they become focused pinpoints of light, available for use...
The soul is immortal so longs you haven't lost it ... if you are absent of a soul, when your body eventually dies you emptied of the universe. You are no more. 🙏❤️❤️👍 I was born breach, feet first. I was born upright - 11.11. Special blood lines = S, B and L ... my initials are L B S.
Is it a limit or a creative guideline? No wrong answer - only a choice. Kether: all-inclusive Continuum of Being. Absolute. Diamond. Unity. Innermost. That which is, that is nothing in particular (actual), is by definition everything in general (potential). Chokma: Eternity Because the Absolute functions as a unified diversity or Uni-verse, it is Eternal. Binah: Infinity Because the Absolute functions as a diversified unity, it is Infinite. Chesed: Actuality Because the potential for actualization is Infinite, the actualization of potential is Eternal, for only Eternity can fully embrace Infinity. Gebura: Potentiality Because the Absolute functions as a diversified unity of potential, the potential for actualization is Infinite. Tipereth: Conversion The conversion of potentiality into actuality is inherently indeterminate. We actualize potential by dreaming our experience and experiencing our dream. Netzach: Experience Experiencing our dream. Hod: Awareness: Dreaming our experience. Yesod: Soul = Integrated Psyche (Heart, Mind, Will). Midmost. Malkuth: Behaviour, magic metaphorical mirror, biofeedback loop. Outermost.
Could it be that we were trying to understand and put into understanding the glory of God? The so called invisible light or love that permeates the universe came upon the mountain with God's word and we wanted to understand that holy feeling.
No religion ,no master no guru ,open the deep reality of existence,they just go on and on like a mary go round on the subject.That's why I stay away from all kind of religion,the truth is within.
Soul = integrated psyche (Heart, Mind and Will). When the masculine di-electric (inspired) vision of the Mind matches the feminine magnetic aspiration of the Heart, their energetic resonant frequency alignment or union generates the androgynous electromagnetic current of the Will (child of promise) to take appropriate action toward fulfillment of the Heart's desire, to experience completion of Joy in form as co-equal collaborators with the all-inclusive Absolute. Ultimately, our only real choice is between unconscious compulsive reaction and conscious creative response. The Light of Wisdom and Understanding dispels the darkness of ignorance and folly. As the eye is a lamp unto the body, so is perspective to the Mind. Therefore, if your eye (perspective) on Life be single (all-inclusive), then your whole Being will be full of Life, and the Light of Wisdom and Understanding.
I was raised very unreligious and wish to learn the ways of Jewish mysticism, if anyone can reccomend and reading material it would be much appreciated
Hello, Steph, and good luck on your learning journey! Practical Kabbalah by Laibl Wolf is the first book I recommend. Also the text we are using for this series on Jewish mysticism. Link here: www.amazon.com/Practical-Kabbalah-Jewish-Wisdom-Everyday/dp/0609803786/ref=asc_df_0609803786/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312143170987&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12681136816186961072&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9016974&hvtargid=pla-527849508173&psc=1
YISRAEL All we have to do to get our land back completely for the land to be completely ours (to do Yehovah’s work as his specially crafted people , where are souls and our DNA or transformed by the power of Torah and by the true faith of Israel - ) we have to RETURN TO OUR FAITH. We have to return to the TRUE FAITH OF ISRAEL. When we return to WHO WE REALLY ARE IN OUR SOULS, then we will have the LAND OF ISRAEL COMPLETELY OURS. THIS US THE PROMISE OF YEHOVAH TO OUR ANCESTORS. Yehowah always had encoded in his prewritten history that the souls of Israel are always free to repent, do teshuvah, turn about from their ways, turn to holiness, in faith in Elohim Yehovah, then we will be reinvited to our land, the land with our rich heritage encoded into it. Yehowah reserves Israel to be for those of the Faith of Israel. The land of Israel should be a place of JEWS-HEBREWS-SOULS OF YISRAEL. Hurry up and clear it out. Let the “ Palestinians” be free to go on their way, and live where they want to live apart from Israel. Let the Arab people make a country for the arabs, like the leaders of the world who are of Hebrew descent made a country for the people of Israel pf Israel. The people of Israel still need their own country. Let the arabs find their own land and move on to their own place and let the land of Israel be for the people of Israel. This will be done. Do it peacefully as possible. Move one. No conflict needed. Arabs go on to Arab countries. Get out of Israel and you will have no problems. Move on. Bless you to find your own land. The land of Israel is for the people of Israel. The world bak in alignment. The people of Israel were outcast for so long, when we are pure in our hearts and relinked to the way of Israel, we will be invited to our land peacefully, WHEN WE INHERIT THE HEART OF ISRAEL, THE FAITH OF ISRAEL WHICH IS LOVE OF YEHOWAH ELOHIM. WE ARE THE BNEI ISRAEL, WE ARE THE NISHMOT ISREAL, THE SOULS OF ISRAEL YEHOVAH MADE IN THE BEGINNING UPON WHICH HE WOULD FOUND THE WORLD. No two state solution. Arabs go to their own country. Arabs already have their many countries, we the souls of Israel have one country for all time. Without this country we have nothing. We are nothing without yehovah and the torah of mosheh. Moshiach has spoken, a malach from Elohim has arisen to save the people who are called YISRAEL! This is from YEHOVAH. AMEN HEBREWS ARE A REAL PEOPLE AND WE WILL NOT BE EXTINGUISHED. THE TORAH OF LIFE IS FAR TOO MEANINGFUL FOR THE SOURCE OF LIFE TO LET IT BE GONE AND IT NEEDS A PEOPLE TO ACTIVATE IT IN THE WORLD. WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. ARABS GO TO YOUR OWN COUNTRIES. WE ARE ISRAEL. YISRAEL IS OUR ONLY LAND. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND NOW IS THE TIME THE SOULS OF ISRAEL TO RETURN TO OUR LAND AND DO THE WORK OF YEHOVAH WHICH IS TO LIVE IN TORAH EVERY DAY IN FAITH AND TRUE PRAYER IN ELOHIM. AMEN ARABS NEED TO FIGURE OUT THEIR OWN HOME LAND! ISRAEL IS OURS! WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. WE ARE PEACEFULLY ALLOWING ALL YOU ARABS TO LEAVE!!! HONOR OUR BOUNDARIES. OR WE WILL MAKE WAR. AND PRAYER IS OUR MAIN WEAPON. THE LAND OF ISRAEL IS FOR THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. UNDERSTAND WHAT THE FAITH OF ISRAEL IS, AND CONVERT IF IT MOVES YOU! All the things we have to make war against in the power of prayer to win those wars. We are the people of Israel - of the faith of Israel. Our true weaponry for winning these wars against the evil, against the corruptions of governments, is the power of faith. Nishmot Yisrael Hu Ha Shalit BYehoVah
@@TempleIsraelMI What happens to the personality/tree of life after death? People who have had OBEs (myself included) have experienced control outside of the body, leading me to believe Malchut has layers, physical and non-physical. Malchut is action/manifestation correct? Forgive my ignorance.
How is the Kabbalah different from the Shockera (which showed up more in internet searches…and separately: what does the Kabbalah say about the scientific tree of life?
Thaks for the question, LisaCraig. If you are referring to the Chakras, the key difference is that the Chakras manifest as energy centers in the physical body. Although the Sefirot are described as corresponding to the human body, and drawn on diagrams, they are not energy centers. The Sefirot are the inner structure of Divine light out of which all reality flows - in particular the human form. So while the crown chakra has a location on the skull, Chochma and Bina are the creative light out of which the entire right and left sides of the brain are projected into time space and consciousness. The same applies to the Chesed/Gevurah/Tiferet and the right, left arm and torso. The biological tree of life is a Western categorization of species, etc. So very different from the mystical Tree of Life from the Torah. That being said, all of reality flows out of the Divine structure, and so Kabbalah teaches there will always be parallels to that structure. Perhaps the three categories of Bacteria, Archea and Eukaryota would correspond to the three Worlds described in this series? That would need more study to expand on the question.
@@TempleIsraelMI , I can see the interaction of small critters in an ecological system. Where, although 97% of bacteria is good; the good bacteria get killed first by anti-biotic in the water; leaving bad bacteria and fungi and viruses to flourish without the good bacteria to naturally kill them. Answer for humans and nature: take less anti-biotics, eat organic foods, and take probiotics daily. Or even smaller: maybe the “umbilical cord” is as though our link to the Higgins type-God particle in an atom? And the more negative attributes are as the negative electron ions, neutral neutron ions are in the middle and have the most mass & positive proton ions are the positively associated bodies. And faith is the huge area of space that they all fly within(?).
I'm just learning about Kabbalah and was curious if androgyny is part of the beliefs? If so, how does it coincide with our Creator and us, His Creation made in His image? Thank you for taking my questions!!!
Thanks for the question, and for taking this class. That is not a topic I would try to address in a comments section, but let me touch on a few points and suggestions for research: -The Reform movement is perfectly comfortable with gender fluidity, so an androgynous person should feel at home in any Reform community. -Jewish law does identify four gender identities: Male, female, androgynous and tumtum. This article addresses: www.keshetonline.org/resources/gender-fluidity-in-the-jewish-tradition/ -In Kabbalah, every phenomenon or being has both a female and a male aspect. Male contributes potential, and female receives potential and develops it into actual. So both the Creator as well as every person has both male and female spiritual aspects. Feel free to contact me at MSmolash@Temple-Israel.org for a more in-depth conversation, and wishing you success and joy in your studies!
@@TempleIsraelMI Thanks so much for your reply, I'll look at the information you've shared and be in touch with any further questions. Thanks again, take care!!!
Robert Shrewsbury 5/10/2022 What is a Golem, And, do or did the Nephilim create them? A Golem is a human-like, intelligent creature that has been metaphysically/scientifically formed from a previously lifeless substance such as dirt/clay or earth. It is brought to life by a series of procedures, one way was by ritual incantations and sequences of the Hebrew letters. The Golem, then brought into being by a human creator, became a helper, companion, or a rescuer/guardian, depending on the selected use. One account was of a giant-sized protector, made to protect an imperiled Jewish community. This use of Golem’s was also the case with the Egyptians and they made Golem’s for labor work, physicians and soldier/guards for protection. There are indications that the advanced civilization levels of India and elsewhere did the same. Both the Egyptians and Hebrews practiced “Magic”, a use of Metaphysical-Science (mystified and not well understood today). During the times of Moses and Noah, magic use was rampant and displayed continuously, as is written in the Bible and the Egyptian Priests records at that time. The use of Golem’s might be to control people, harm people, mess with weather, send diseases or destroy crops and finances, if out of line from basic civil values. (Arab Moon Magic often deals with forms of harming others and directly deals with Golem creations of a sort.) In general, the image of the Golem was usually held in secret, because the Material-Figurine/Golem was used like a Voodoo Doll, for control of the Golem spirit-form. The intent was so the Golem Spirit would not get out of control and become insubordinate and disobedient, or even be stolen, used or harmed by someone else. After their creation, they began to develop will and individuality. In the case of Rabbi Loew’s (between 1512 and 1526) Golem, he inscribed YHVH on the forehead of his Golem and so when he was done with this Golem’s use, he removed the Deity name of YHVH from the Golem's forehead and the life essence departed. A time period (life-span) of how long the Golem would live was also programmed-in during their creation. The stone statues of earlier civilizations were likely Golem’s and their time of function may or may not be expired. According to the Zohar (Rabbinical comment on the Torah for 2,000 years) we Humans were made of the same Omani-Powerful Forces of the Hebrew Letters, which were Omni-Present, Omni-Potent Gods in a Counsel of 23 beings and the name of the Head-God was never revealed in their books. This is the Elohim Council! “Adam was made from the dust of the Earth.” The great knowledge that the Hebrews and Egyptians had, originally came from the Nephilim. In the America’s, genetic half-brothers, Algonquin/Wabanaki people, at one time made Golem’s. They would designate a special person that took care of them. In one historical instance, called “The Keeper of the Doll”. For going on 100 years, we have been developing a mechanical form of Golem’s, computers. They are “made from the dust of the Earth”, have people’s thoughts programmed in (whether ignorant, sociopathic or otherwise), and will be developing will. The largest allocation of computer time is towards warfare, spying and addictions of various sorts. Androids and Artificial Intelligence is already partly here and may climb to the “state of the art” in time. As I see it, an increase in science and technology does not work to civilize man/womankind, but it does give them far greater weapons to abuse one another, exponentially. Our greatest developments should be in benevolence, fairness and civility and so we are behind! According to ancient and Biblical history, the populaces of Earth have had several major corrections initiated on them, when behaviors and choices drifted so far off as to be inimical to all life. Are we all ready to experience another massive Cosmic Correction?? ruclips.net/video/04mqz9hmzgg/видео.html Cordially, Robert
Thank you for your wonderful question, Lorenzo. While in the past Kabbalah was reserved for a select group of mystics, at this time in history, this secret tradition has made itself available to all of humankind. As long as one keeps the Seven Noahide Laws, there is great benefit to seekers of all traditions learning Kabbalah. For more information on the Seven Noahide Laws, the soul matrix that enables the deep truths of Kabbalah to manifest, have a look here: www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/62221/jewish/The-7-Noahide-Laws-Universal-Morality.htm Warmly, Cantor Smolash
@Cookee McFarland Great question, Cookee. Although there is some debate, the general view is that before the Flood, all of humanity was meant to be vegetarian - "I have given you every seed-bearing herb which is upon the surface of the entire earth, and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit; it will be yours for food." Creator recognized that that was not working, and so gave permission after the flood to eat animals. "Every moving thing that lives shall be yours to eat; like the green vegetation, I have given you everything. (Genesis 9:3)" But the permission was given with the rule to hunt or slaughter animals with a minimum of pain and the greatest respect. So removing limbs one at a time was forbidden. For Jews this also developed into an intricate system of dietary laws. But for the 70 other nations that rule applies for eating any animal.
@nick Gold if one were to add kaballah to their everyday catholic prayers/beliefs that can open a portal to demonic entities or spiritual attacks dont do it!
Does Kabbalah take into consideration each person's date/time/place of birth? Or do Kabbalaists try to understand the entire system without connection to their own personal first statement of existence (birth)?
Kabbalah views each person's time and place of birth as the highest expression of divine providence. If you are asking more about astrology, and the impact on a personality from that perspective, there was a Jewish system of astrology that is mainly lost at this point. In our tradition, however, if you are learning sacred wisdoms and carrying out sacred actions (mitzvot) that vibration raises a person above the effects of the planets and constellations.
You have a lot of great info here but you are still on the outer level of truth if you get to the inner truth on the energy body & the spiritual traditions , you realize the chakras are telling the same story as the sephorot ….& the Christmas tree ..& the Egyptian Jed pillar & so much more 3 flavors of the same dish I recommend the books “universal kabbalistic chakra meditation on the Lord’s Prayer” & “ achieving oneness with the higher Soul” by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui I also recommend multiple programs on GAIA …particularly Dr Robert Gilbert

so i've been bought up in a muslim household but there is lots of things that are pushing me away from the religion. when i found out ariana grande studies Kabbalah i wanted to read up on it. i'm really liking it but i dont know how to explain to my family that i'm finding a new religion. do you have any tips?
So glad our classes are connecting with you on a soul level! That is a profound and delicate question and advice would be different from one situation to another. Best is to find a personal mentor in your city that you respect and ask for their advice. Wishing you the best of luck on your journey!
@Chantal Cormier Glad to answer your questions. Freemasons have nothing to do with real Jewish kabala. Some conspiracy theories have conflated them, but they have nothing to do with each other. Jewish Kabala is not a different religion. It's the mystical practice within the Jewish Religion. Also, of course, if it is real Judaism, it has nothing to do with Jesus as a messiah or divine figure in any way. I hope that makes sense.
Remember you are gambling your being and love of God so please do read and research instead of following popular culture. Good luck and May Allah guide you on the right path.
As a relatively new jew / yahudi.. the kabbalah is so hard to understand that even the fact I couldn't hear all the readers is enough to confuse me to no end. I'd like to continue your series, but are there other trusted sources you use?
Wonderful to hear from you, Jermaine, and apologies the readings are hard to hear. Another excellent source is my teacher, Laibl Wolf, who covers these concepts masterfully here: ruclips.net/p/PLsMw_GxyIAciQFjohp7qy_G6nVUJwL-z4

If the light of the ein sof is infinite, how does it get shaded by veils? If a light is bright, yes a veil would dimm it, but with an infinite light, still infinite light would cast through the veil (mathematically speaking; let's say a bright ligh has 1'000'000 Lumen, a veil is there that takes half of the lumen away, so 500'000 Lumen would shine through the veil, but when the light is infinite Lumen and the veil takes half of the Lumen again, still infinite Lumen shine through, as infinite divided by two is still infinite), am I missing something here?
Very perceptive question, and correct, nothing should be able to "veil" the Ein Sof. But the Gevurah (might) of G0d is also infinite. So veils created by G0d have the capacity to "dim" the Or Ein Sof, so to speak. In the end, though, that dimming of the light of the Ein Sof is only real from the perspective of created beings. From G0d's perspective, there is only the infinite unity that precedes even the light.
@@TempleIsraelMI thanks for clarification, makes sense, I basically forgot that one can calculate with infinite numbers aswell (e.g. infinity/2*infinity=1/2), sorry for the inconvenience caused
Imagine a king fighting a battle lasting years. At the beginning, as it is just building up, he may dedicate limited resources. At the peak, when the whole kingdom is at stake, he will throw his entire fortune and every resource into the fight to ensure victory. Kabbalah describes human history as that battle, and we are now at the absolute tipping point. So G0d is releasing and investing even the most hidden secrets to ensure our success.
I've been studying Kabbalah and the Tree of Life for years. This video states the following: Inspiration is Chokma, and Cognition is Binah. What what what! I learned the opposite! And according to the illustration: Why is Binah on the Right side of the human body, or on the right side of the Tree of Life? And Chokma on the Left side of the human body ...left side of the Tree of Life? I always learned Binah is Female and Left hand path ... Male Chokma is Male and Right hand path. No wonder all humans are insane. There is so much misinformation out there.
So wonderful to have you learning with our community, EvolveYourself. And thank you for your comment. You are definitely correct that Binah is on the left/feminine side and Chochma on the right/masculine. If i misspoke somewhere in the class, please send me the time of where that happened and I can add a note to correct. In terms of the definitions, every source I know of describes Chochma as the flash of inspiratiopn and binah as intellectual cogitation. If you have a good source that says the opposite, I would love to look that up, so please share that as well. Thanks again, and wishing you continued success!
For extensive strategies towards all of your questions, I would suggest this class series. An intermediate Kabbalah class detailing a comprehensive life posture based on the deepest mysticism. ruclips.net/p/PLn9spWvsCBvdNW_0VYbZL6DzrW5ovd1zq
You are correct that the practice of "Practical Kabbalah" traditionally involved divination, and is avoided. Rabbi Wolf's title, however, is a play on words, and he uses the word practical to mean "useful". His book is an excellent way to take the esoteric wisdoms of Kabbalah and make them useful in living a meaningful and emotionally integrated life.
Thanks, sorry to assume it's just something I remember hearings about in my own studies. The title being a play on words makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the clarification!
Ein Sof: Learn, unlearn and relearn. RESHAPE. Ein Sof, or Eyn Sof (/eɪn sɒf/, Hebrew: אין סוף), in Kabbalah, is understood as God prior to any self-manifestation in the production of any spiritual domain (fake Gods or God and idols worshipers), "the Endless One" (she-en lo tiklah). Ein Sof may be translated as "unending", "(there is) no end", or infinity. Of the Ein Sof, nothing ("Ein") can be grasped ("Sof"-limitation). It is the origin of the Ohr Ein Sof, the "Infinite Light" of paradoxical divine self-knowledge, nullified within the Ein Sof prior to creation (expelled from paradise). In Lurianic Kabbalah, the first act of creation, the Tzimtzum self "withdrawal" of God to create an "empty space" and time or in other words the MORTAL, takes place from there. In Hasidic Judaism, the Tzimtzum is only the illusionary concealment of the Ohr Ein Sof, giving rise to monistic panentheism. Consequently, Hasidism focuses on the Atzmus divine essence, rooted higher within the Godhead than the Ein Sof, which is limited to infinitude, and reflected in the essence (etzem) of the Torah and the soul. Before He gave any shape to the world, before He produced any form, He was alone, without form and without resemblance to anything else. Who then can comprehend how He was before the Creation? Hence it is forbidden to lend Him any form or similitude, or even to call Him by His sacred name, or to indicate Him by a single letter or a single point. But after He created the form of the Heavenly Man, He used him as a vehicle wherein to descend, and He wishes to be called after His form, which is the sacred name "YHWH". In other words, "Ein Sof" signifies "the nameless being". In another passage the Zohar reduces the term to "Ein" (non-existent), because God so transcends human understanding as to be practically non-existent and no proof and experimentation. Similarly, there is no GOD but A-L-L-H created by none and his last messenger who could not read and write from Arabia.We believe in God and that which was revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and Ismail, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the Prophets received from their A-L-L-H through Angel. We make no distinction between any of them and unto Him we Ein Sof (nothing, analogy to immortal soul and something, anology to mortal natural laws). How I understood everything through science, mathematics and many not discovered or yet to be discovered as well spacetime + time, great knowlege on what I understood or how I understood them every thing vanishes from my mind and wake up with fully Ein Sof. May A-L-L-H is He, other than Whom there is no other god; Who knows both what is hidden and what can be witnessed; He is the Most Compassionate and Merciful to Islam, Jewish , Christians and all. "Assalam alaikum" and "Sholom aleichem", peace upon you from A-L-L-H, respectively. The posterity of Ismail extends, through affiliation with Islam, to many other ethnicities aside from the Arabs, across the globe. Yet, the Quran, the sacred text of Islam, repeatedly praises Moses (Musa), and Muslims, like Jews, believe that Moses alone, among the prophets, spoke directly to God. In addition, Jews and Muslims both circumcise their male offspring, the former at birth and the latter at or approaching puberty. And finally, the two religions share some dietary and other restrictions, such as a ban on consumption of pork. ISRAEL is the nation where there will be no conversion to jewish and ISLAM is spreading victoriously with no compulsion (loving and caring) without borders across nations. ISLAM by force or weaponary or sword or terrorist defetaed and crushed. Batlle of "UHUD" defetaed and crushed was the first example of hatred and greed.
I am a 62 year old non Jewish man who has only been studying Kabbalah and the Tree of Life for less than 2 months. In this short time reading books and with the help of wonderful videos like this, I can see that just about every "New Age" concept and belief I have ever come across has actually been " borrowed" from Kabbalah , LOL. Thank you so much for making and sharing these videos, greatly appreciated !! 🙏 Off to watch Part 2 now .
Yashar Koach on your continued work, Dub. Feel free to contact me with any questions at MSmolash@Temple-Israel.org
@@TempleIsraelMI Baruch Tihiye, and thank you so much for this kind offer, I will certainly bear this in mind. I am currently half way through part 4 of 5, and in my own work I am learning the Hebrew alphabet, to then use it as a greater understanding of the association with the pathways on the T of L. This is the most fascinating "thing" I have came across in my life. The way the multiple levels and meanings of the Hebrew alphabet work within the Bible alone is beyond mind blowing. Thank you so much for sharing all this wonderful wisdom, it is greatly appreciated. 🙏

The Higher Self (or spriritual/loving beings) usually won’t impose itself/themselves on you without you willing it or giving permission. If the voice is peaceful and patient then more power to you, we all operate differently and some of us are just more sensitive than others.

@@shadowlands8490 which craft?
This is really so good. I wasn’t even gonna watch all of it but I’m 15 minutes in already without even noticing that much time had passed.
Wonderful teachings thank you so much 🙂🍀❣
So far, this is the BEST beginning class on Kabbalah I’ve found on youtube. After watching the first class, I purchased Rabbi Wolf’s book. The book is easy to read and is loaded with information, however, it isn’t necessary to have a copy to get a lot out of these classes. But, like this video, the book covers the basics and is very understandable. A great into into a topic with incredible depth and complexity. I feel this series of classes with the book has provided a very good foundation for future studies. The material is presented clearly, the video/audio quality is good and the teacher really knows the material. Thanks to all involved for sharing these classes with the public.
Can you tell me the book name!
Amazing...Thank you. Complex made simply and beautiful at the same time equals a Saphire!!!
Thank you, Alberto. A pleasure to have you learning with us!
Thank you Cantor Smolesh for this series of talks, I found them a very comprehensive and illuminating introduction in to what can appear to be quite a daunting subject. Very well communicated, thanks again.
Thankyou a sage once said teasingly, “The game of life, is let’s pretend....and then....let’s pretend, that we are no longer pretending.” In other words, let’s pretend that this being is called A and another being is called B. Then let’s believe our mind stuff nonsense. Other sages tease, that once you try to explain a thing, using words, then life is teasing you, because you can’t explain, the unexplainable. However there is a kind of knowing, which in silence, the inner consciousness is present, just being, being within the moment of now. The tree theme, being a series of themes, to prompt the student, to explore within, their own being, what ever they are experiencing in within that given moment in time. Yet Time is a mind theme, in a sense of silence, one goes beyond time. All energies can be explained, as first there was fire energy, then water was there, to stop fire burning everything. But the two elements, have air, to keep the fire and water energy balanced. ( fire would burn everything up, water would flood and cool everything down, so air balances ) Next the fire, water, air together, combine to make the earth element. So the human can be decided, into a vibratory energy, of earth, water, air, fire. The Fitch element being ether. So different explanations, devide, hips to feet, earth, hips to abdomen water, chest air, and head fire element. The beauty is that we are all mini Devine beings, housed in earth, water, air, fire, elements. The minds thoughts, therefore can separate us from the miracle of mixing with other beings, or it can unite us, then at that moment, it goes beyond words. Each person, will experience life from their individual perspective, because we are all having different experiences, like parents, environment, educational whatever. Reality we all have choices, to chose to be loving caring sharing beings. Sadly many of us chose stress, negative experiences, so we separate ourselves from the universal whole. Much love to you and all your viewers. All pathways lead ultimately to wholeness, life teases, all paths, lead to the one source. ☺️🌈👌
We ARE NOT ALL.COMPLETE...HENCE EVOLUTION...TO BE THE EQUIVALENCE OF LOVE...SOME , ALOT OF US HAVE A WAYS TO GO AND MIGHT DEVOLVE IN ORDER TO DO SO...
WE ARE ALL NOT THE SAME...
SOME CREATED FROM HIGH VIBES...
SOME FROM LOW..
TYE KEY IS TO LOVE IN ORDER TO EVOLVE...
NO TRUTH
NO LOVE
NO EVOLVE...
Some yes,some no. Not all pathways lead to wholeness or one source. And being one or returning to oneness or source is not necessarily a simple process for some folk burdened by baggage fears & inner realities
Wow... this has just given me more than you will ever know. For years I have been having downloads about how this world works, along with visions and apparitions (including blue "lights" /Beings appearing to me). Before I knew about Kabbalah, I was shown the Tree of Life in the night sky, with the sky grid behind it, and was told, "this is how you get to the other dimensions". Only now because of this video I have proof that others have experienced the same things and are being told the same things. When I looked up the 10 sefirot right now, they showed the SAME exact circles within a circle that I was shown as the dimensions of higher beings that create the dimension below it for higher levels of learning because they are further fractions from God. I am blown away right now. Thank you for this video I feel so validated in my experience right now.
So glad that our class spoke to you and reaffirmed your journey. I love your description of "further fractions from G0d". A very apt metaphor. Wishing you the highest blessings in both your learning and your teaching!
Very nicely articulated, very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing.
A little hard for my old ears to hear other speakers without microphones though 🙂
Some times when I go to bed for a sleep at night, just before falling sleep, there comes to my mind a great knowledge of everything like a flash of light (whatsoever problem I thought about during the day). The problem is the instant I start to think about what I understood or how I understood it evey thing vanishes from my mind and I wake up. This is a great mystery that I can't express throughout my life.
Get a check-up from the neck-up immediately. At lease, get it lanced.

A pleasure to have you learning with us, Mike!
Cindy Brown called it! Must watch all five episodes - I never understood Kabala until this class!
I’ve heard of Kabbalah before but only today did I watch a full course on it and now I’m looking for an environment in which to practice.
Welcome, and wonderful to have you learning with us, Anonomation.
If you email me at MSmolash@Temple-Israel.org and let me know where you are based, happy to connect you with a community where you can put these techniques into everyday practice.
I've been watching videos on Kaballah for a couple months. I've basically gotten the tree of life down, as basic as it can get. I know more can be added etc. I've always been a mystic. Always on a search, loved seeing this. Wish I had an actual teacher. I'm smart but this isn't easy lol

Know this: All souls were once together, then from some force, we were all shattered. We all became single. Then with the shattering, a feeling of hatred was put over all of us. So that we couldn't come back to one another as one; The one-ness of the Universe. Now a new concept has been put over all of us, Covid-19. Its put in place, from the powers that be, so that we all can be afraid of each other. And not to want to come together as the Universe wants us to. We all need to come back to each other, so that we all can evolve to the 5th element. The 5th element, a higher form of being, living, feeling. To be more with the form of the Universe. That is what the experiment is, to come back together. To evolve spiritually. To be one with the Universe. ( I just thought of this) All the best Shaun of NYC

Very interesting! Was looking for The Tree of Life, and morals after watching the Curse of Oak Island!..love the jokes, using the pharmacists cough joke; and the “Oh I thought this would be easier” comment at the end was hilarious. This is easy learning, grabbing the book by Wolf asap; …last comment is funny, because this is easy!
Perhaps you could use sefirot as colors of the spectrum emitted by the light, colored by the prism of the mind, body and soul needing to be perfected though knowledge and work, until they become focused pinpoints of light, available for use...

Thank you.
Is it a limit or a creative guideline? No wrong answer - only a choice.
Kether: all-inclusive Continuum of Being. Absolute. Diamond. Unity. Innermost.
That which is, that is nothing in particular (actual), is by definition everything in general (potential).
Chokma: Eternity
Because the Absolute functions as a unified diversity or Uni-verse, it is Eternal.
Binah: Infinity
Because the Absolute functions as a diversified unity, it is Infinite.
Chesed: Actuality
Because the potential for actualization is Infinite, the actualization of potential is Eternal, for only Eternity can fully embrace Infinity.
Gebura: Potentiality
Because the Absolute functions as a diversified unity of potential, the potential for actualization is Infinite.
Tipereth: Conversion
The conversion of potentiality into actuality is inherently indeterminate.
We actualize potential by dreaming our experience and experiencing our dream.
Netzach: Experience
Experiencing our dream.
Hod: Awareness:
Dreaming our experience.
Yesod: Soul = Integrated Psyche (Heart, Mind, Will). Midmost.
Malkuth: Behaviour, magic metaphorical mirror, biofeedback loop. Outermost.
As esferas de luz✨️✨️✨️
Incrivel🙏🏼
very nice
This also haves to do with plantery alignment with in the body
Could it be that we were trying to understand and put into understanding the glory of God? The so called invisible light or love that permeates the universe came upon the mountain with God's word and we wanted to understand that holy feeling.
Fight to remove doubt and you may see god.
Thank you
No religion ,no master no guru ,open the deep reality of existence,they just go on and on like a mary go round on the subject.That's why I stay away from all kind of religion,the truth is within.
One of my fav albums and songs by Van Morrison.
There's a religion for that, too - it's called Satanism. The Angel of Light - "truth comes from within"
We want the Zohar, LIGHT to the Nations.
Soul = integrated psyche (Heart, Mind and Will).
When the masculine di-electric (inspired) vision of the Mind matches the feminine magnetic aspiration of the Heart, their energetic resonant frequency alignment or union generates the androgynous electromagnetic current of the Will (child of promise) to take appropriate action toward fulfillment of the Heart's desire, to experience completion of Joy in form as co-equal collaborators with the all-inclusive Absolute.
Ultimately, our only real choice is between unconscious compulsive reaction and conscious creative response.
The Light of Wisdom and Understanding dispels the darkness of ignorance and folly.
As the eye is a lamp unto the body, so is perspective to the Mind. Therefore, if your eye (perspective) on Life be single (all-inclusive), then your whole Being will be full of Life, and the Light of Wisdom and Understanding.
I was raised very unreligious and wish to learn the ways of Jewish mysticism, if anyone can reccomend and reading material it would be much appreciated
Hello, Steph, and good luck on your learning journey! Practical Kabbalah by Laibl Wolf is the first book I recommend. Also the text we are using for this series on Jewish mysticism.

YISRAEL
All we have to do to get our land back completely for the land to be completely ours (to do Yehovah’s work as his specially crafted people , where are souls and our DNA or transformed by the power of Torah and by the true faith of Israel - ) we have to RETURN TO OUR FAITH. We have to return to the TRUE FAITH OF ISRAEL. When we return to WHO WE REALLY ARE IN OUR SOULS, then we will have the LAND OF ISRAEL COMPLETELY OURS. THIS US THE PROMISE OF YEHOVAH TO OUR ANCESTORS.
Yehowah always had encoded in his prewritten history that the souls of Israel are always free to repent, do teshuvah, turn about from their ways, turn to holiness, in faith in Elohim Yehovah, then we will be reinvited to our land, the land with our rich heritage encoded into it. Yehowah reserves Israel to be for those of the Faith of Israel.
The land of Israel should be a place of JEWS-HEBREWS-SOULS OF YISRAEL. Hurry up and clear it out. Let the “ Palestinians” be free to go on their way, and live where they want to live apart from Israel. Let the Arab people make a country for the arabs, like the leaders of the world who are of Hebrew descent made a country for the people of Israel pf Israel. The people of Israel still need their own country. Let the arabs find their own land and move on to their own place and let the land of Israel be for the people of Israel. This will be done. Do it peacefully as possible. Move one. No conflict needed. Arabs go on to Arab countries. Get out of Israel and you will have no problems. Move on. Bless you to find your own land. The land of Israel is for the people of Israel. The world bak in alignment. The people of Israel were outcast for so long, when we are pure in our hearts and relinked to the way of Israel, we will be invited to our land peacefully, WHEN WE INHERIT THE HEART OF ISRAEL, THE FAITH OF ISRAEL WHICH IS LOVE OF YEHOWAH ELOHIM. WE ARE THE BNEI ISRAEL, WE ARE THE NISHMOT ISREAL, THE SOULS OF ISRAEL YEHOVAH MADE IN THE BEGINNING UPON WHICH HE WOULD FOUND THE WORLD. No two state solution. Arabs go to their own country. Arabs already have their many countries, we the souls of Israel have one country for all time. Without this country we have nothing. We are nothing without yehovah and the torah of mosheh. Moshiach has spoken, a malach from Elohim has arisen to save the people who are called YISRAEL! This is from YEHOVAH. AMEN
HEBREWS ARE A REAL PEOPLE AND WE WILL NOT BE EXTINGUISHED. THE TORAH OF LIFE IS FAR TOO MEANINGFUL FOR THE SOURCE OF LIFE TO LET IT BE GONE AND IT NEEDS A PEOPLE TO ACTIVATE IT IN THE WORLD. WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.
ARABS GO TO YOUR OWN COUNTRIES. WE ARE ISRAEL. YISRAEL IS OUR ONLY LAND. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND NOW IS THE TIME THE SOULS OF ISRAEL TO RETURN TO OUR LAND AND DO THE WORK OF YEHOVAH WHICH IS TO LIVE IN TORAH EVERY DAY IN FAITH AND TRUE PRAYER IN ELOHIM. AMEN
ARABS NEED TO FIGURE OUT THEIR OWN HOME LAND! ISRAEL IS OURS!
WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. WE ARE PEACEFULLY ALLOWING ALL YOU ARABS TO LEAVE!!! HONOR OUR BOUNDARIES. OR WE WILL MAKE WAR. AND PRAYER IS OUR MAIN WEAPON. THE LAND OF ISRAEL IS FOR THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. UNDERSTAND WHAT THE FAITH OF ISRAEL IS, AND CONVERT IF IT MOVES YOU!
All the things we have to make war against in the power of prayer to win those wars. We are the people of Israel - of the faith of Israel. Our true weaponry for winning these wars against the evil, against the corruptions of governments, is the power of faith. Nishmot Yisrael Hu Ha Shalit BYehoVah
So the eyes would be like the windows for the soul
Is our personality in the soul or the body?
The body has some tendencies and ingrained habits, but the soul is the seat of our personality, and gets the final say on behaviour.
@@TempleIsraelMI What happens to the personality/tree of life after death? People who have had OBEs (myself included) have experienced control outside of the body, leading me to believe Malchut has layers, physical and non-physical. Malchut is action/manifestation correct? Forgive my ignorance.
The body can be compared to an antenna.
How is the Kabbalah different from the Shockera (which showed up more in internet searches…and separately: what does the Kabbalah say about the scientific tree of life?
Thaks for the question, LisaCraig.
If you are referring to the Chakras, the key difference is that the Chakras manifest as energy centers in the physical body. Although the Sefirot are described as corresponding to the human body, and drawn on diagrams, they are not energy centers. The Sefirot are the inner structure of Divine light out of which all reality flows - in particular the human form.
So while the crown chakra has a location on the skull, Chochma and Bina are the creative light out of which the entire right and left sides of the brain are projected into time space and consciousness. The same applies to the Chesed/Gevurah/Tiferet and the right, left arm and torso.
The biological tree of life is a Western categorization of species, etc. So very different from the mystical Tree of Life from the Torah.
That being said, all of reality flows out of the Divine structure, and so Kabbalah teaches there will always be parallels to that structure. Perhaps the three categories of Bacteria, Archea and Eukaryota would correspond to the three Worlds described in this series? That would need more study to expand on the question.
@@TempleIsraelMI ,
I can see the interaction of small critters in an ecological system. Where, although 97% of bacteria is good; the good bacteria get killed first by anti-biotic in the water; leaving bad bacteria and fungi and viruses to flourish without the good bacteria to naturally kill them. Answer for humans and nature: take less anti-biotics, eat organic foods, and take probiotics daily.
Or even smaller: maybe the “umbilical cord” is as though our link to the Higgins type-God particle in an atom? And the more negative attributes are as the negative electron ions, neutral neutron ions are in the middle and have the most mass & positive proton ions are the positively associated bodies. And faith is the huge area of space that they all fly within(?).
I'm just learning about Kabbalah and was curious if androgyny is part of the beliefs? If so, how does it coincide with our Creator and us, His Creation made in His image?
Thank you for taking my questions!!!
Thanks for the question, and for taking this class. That is not a topic I would try to address in a comments section, but let me touch on a few points and suggestions for research:
-The Reform movement is perfectly comfortable with gender fluidity, so an androgynous person should feel at home in any Reform community.
-Jewish law does identify four gender identities: Male, female, androgynous and tumtum. This article addresses: www.keshetonline.org/resources/gender-fluidity-in-the-jewish-tradition/
-In Kabbalah, every phenomenon or being has both a female and a male aspect. Male contributes potential, and female receives potential and develops it into actual. So both the Creator as well as every person has both male and female spiritual aspects.
Feel free to contact me at MSmolash@Temple-Israel.org for a more in-depth conversation, and wishing you success and joy in your studies!
@@TempleIsraelMI
Thanks so much for your reply, I'll look at the information you've shared and be in touch with any further questions. Thanks again, take care!!!

What is a Golem, And, do or did the Nephilim create them?
A Golem is a human-like, intelligent creature that has been metaphysically/scientifically formed from a previously lifeless substance such as dirt/clay or earth. It is brought to life by a series of procedures, one way was by ritual incantations and sequences of the Hebrew letters. The Golem, then brought into being by a human creator, became a helper, companion, or a rescuer/guardian, depending on the selected use. One account was of a giant-sized protector, made to protect an imperiled Jewish community. This use of Golem’s was also the case with the Egyptians and they made Golem’s for labor work, physicians and soldier/guards for protection. There are indications that the advanced civilization levels of India and elsewhere did the same.
Both the Egyptians and Hebrews practiced “Magic”, a use of Metaphysical-Science (mystified and not well understood today). During the times of Moses and Noah, magic use was rampant and displayed continuously, as is written in the Bible and the Egyptian Priests records at that time. The use of Golem’s might be to control people, harm people, mess with weather, send diseases or destroy crops and finances, if out of line from basic civil values. (Arab Moon Magic often deals with forms of harming others and directly deals with Golem creations of a sort.)
In general, the image of the Golem was usually held in secret, because the Material-Figurine/Golem was used like a Voodoo Doll, for control of the Golem spirit-form. The intent was so the Golem Spirit would not get out of control and become insubordinate and disobedient, or even be stolen, used or harmed by someone else. After their creation, they began to develop will and individuality. In the case of Rabbi Loew’s (between 1512 and 1526) Golem, he inscribed YHVH on the forehead of his Golem and so when he was done with this Golem’s use, he removed the Deity name of YHVH from the Golem's forehead and the life essence departed. A time period (life-span) of how long the Golem would live was also programmed-in during their creation. The stone statues of earlier civilizations were likely Golem’s and their time of function may or may not be expired.
According to the Zohar (Rabbinical comment on the Torah for 2,000 years) we Humans were made of the same Omani-Powerful Forces of the Hebrew Letters, which were Omni-Present, Omni-Potent Gods in a Counsel of 23 beings and the name of the Head-God was never revealed in their books. This is the Elohim Council! “Adam was made from the dust of the Earth.” The great knowledge that the Hebrews and Egyptians had, originally came from the Nephilim. In the America’s, genetic half-brothers, Algonquin/Wabanaki people, at one time made Golem’s. They would designate a special person that took care of them. In one historical instance, called “The Keeper of the Doll”.
For going on 100 years, we have been developing a mechanical form of Golem’s, computers. They are “made from the dust of the Earth”, have people’s thoughts programmed in (whether ignorant, sociopathic or otherwise), and will be developing will. The largest allocation of computer time is towards warfare, spying and addictions of various sorts. Androids and Artificial Intelligence is already partly here and may climb to the “state of the art” in time.
As I see it, an increase in science and technology does not work to civilize man/womankind, but it does give them far greater weapons to abuse one another, exponentially. Our greatest developments should be in benevolence, fairness and civility and so we are behind! According to ancient and Biblical history, the populaces of Earth have had several major corrections initiated on them, when behaviors and choices drifted so far off as to be inimical to all life. Are we all ready to experience another massive Cosmic Correction??

58:34 Knowledge, not collection but connection
Wonderful to connect with you, Ultravioletpisces through this profound subject
Right at 37:00 I just realised the teachers look like the painting of the last supper 🤷♀️
Sephitor means circle or sphere then..he answered my question about chakras
can I be catholic and be a Kabbalah, because I understand Kabbalah
Thank you for your wonderful question, Lorenzo.
While in the past Kabbalah was reserved for a select group of mystics, at this time in history, this secret tradition has made itself available to all of humankind. As long as one keeps the Seven Noahide Laws, there is great benefit to seekers of all traditions learning Kabbalah.
For more information on the Seven Noahide Laws, the soul matrix that enables the deep truths of Kabbalah to manifest, have a look here:
www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/62221/jewish/The-7-Noahide-Laws-Universal-Morality.htm
Warmly,
Cantor Smolash
Why have a title, why not just be the God that you are! God is light then so are you, within!
@Cookee McFarland
Great question, Cookee. Although there is some debate, the general view is that before the Flood, all of humanity was meant to be vegetarian - "I have given you every seed-bearing herb which is upon the surface of the entire earth, and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit; it will be yours for food."
Creator recognized that that was not working, and so gave permission after the flood to eat animals. "Every moving thing that lives shall be yours to eat; like the green vegetation, I have given you everything. (Genesis 9:3)"
But the permission was given with the rule to hunt or slaughter animals with a minimum of pain and the greatest respect. So removing limbs one at a time was forbidden.
For Jews this also developed into an intricate system of dietary laws. But for the 70 other nations that rule applies for eating any animal.
Noooo! I warn you don't ever mix catholicism with judaism or its practices. It's dangerous.
@nick Gold
if one were to add kaballah to their everyday catholic prayers/beliefs that can open a portal to demonic entities or spiritual attacks dont do it!
Bnei Baruch
Nathan D Elders knows the truth.
Does Kabbalah take into consideration each person's date/time/place of birth? Or do Kabbalaists try to understand the entire system without connection to their own personal first statement of existence (birth)?
Kabbalah views each person's time and place of birth as the highest expression of divine providence.
If you are asking more about astrology, and the impact on a personality from that perspective, there was a Jewish system of astrology that is mainly lost at this point. In our tradition, however, if you are learning sacred wisdoms and carrying out sacred actions (mitzvot) that vibration raises a person above the effects of the planets and constellations.

Where does the messiah come in?
You have a lot of great info here but you are still on the outer level of truth
if you get to the inner truth on the energy body & the spiritual traditions , you realize the chakras are telling the same story as the sephorot ….& the Christmas tree ..& the Egyptian Jed pillar & so much more
3 flavors of the same dish
I recommend the books “universal kabbalistic chakra meditation on the Lord’s Prayer” & “ achieving oneness with the higher Soul” by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui
I also recommend multiple programs on GAIA …particularly Dr Robert Gilbert
Why not first learn and keep Halachah, before learning/teaching something so complex, elusive and ambiguent as Kabbalah?
When are the LIVE classes held and how are they accessed? I appreciate your help:)
We'd love to have you with us. Classes are Thursdays at 10:00 am Eastern Time Zone. Please email Maya@Temple-Israel for the link to the Zoom class this Thursday, as well as for the class schedule of which Thursdays we meet.
@@TempleIsraelMI Thank you.
Hi! I would like to learn this. How can I get in touch with you please?
We would love to have you join our classes. Please email Maya@Temple-Israel.org for the link and class schedule.
so i've been bought up in a muslim household but there is lots of things that are pushing me away from the religion. when i found out ariana grande studies Kabbalah i wanted to read up on it. i'm really liking it but i dont know how to explain to my family that i'm finding a new religion. do you have any tips?
So glad our classes are connecting with you on a soul level!
That is a profound and delicate question and advice would be different from one situation to another. Best is to find a personal mentor in your city that you respect and ask for their advice.
Wishing you the best of luck on your journey!
TempleIsraelMI thankyou so much!
@Chantal Cormier Glad to answer your questions. Freemasons have nothing to do with real Jewish kabala. Some conspiracy theories have conflated them, but they have nothing to do with each other.
Jewish Kabala is not a different religion. It's the mystical practice within the Jewish Religion. Also, of course, if it is real Judaism, it has nothing to do with Jesus as a messiah or divine figure in any way.
I hope that makes sense.
Remember you are gambling your being and love of God so please do read and research instead of following popular culture. Good luck and May Allah guide you on the right path.
Be careful
As a relatively new jew / yahudi.. the kabbalah is so hard to understand that even the fact I couldn't hear all the readers is enough to confuse me to no end. I'd like to continue your series, but are there other trusted sources you use?
Wonderful to hear from you, Jermaine, and apologies the readings are hard to hear. Another excellent source is my teacher, Laibl Wolf, who covers these concepts masterfully here: ruclips.net/p/PLsMw_GxyIAciQFjohp7qy_G6nVUJwL-z4
@@TempleIsraelMI Not to say I'm not going to keep watching. I'm just VERY new to this.. I read torah and go to weekly studies, I also attend talmud classes.. I just needed everything perfect for me.. others probably picked it up just fine.. but I'll check you both out..

And the wisdom is chochma, but sometimes spelled hokhmah in other books. What is the difference between these two kinds of spelling?
If the light of the ein sof is infinite, how does it get shaded by veils? If a light is bright, yes a veil would dimm it, but with an infinite light, still infinite light would cast through the veil (mathematically speaking; let's say a bright ligh has 1'000'000 Lumen, a veil is there that takes half of the lumen away, so 500'000 Lumen would shine through the veil, but when the light is infinite Lumen and the veil takes half of the Lumen again, still infinite Lumen shine through, as infinite divided by two is still infinite), am I missing something here?
Very perceptive question, and correct, nothing should be able to "veil" the Ein Sof. But the Gevurah (might) of G0d is also infinite. So veils created by G0d have the capacity to "dim" the Or Ein Sof, so to speak.
In the end, though, that dimming of the light of the Ein Sof is only real from the perspective of created beings. From G0d's perspective, there is only the infinite unity that precedes even the light.
@@TempleIsraelMI thanks for clarification, makes sense, I basically forgot that one can calculate with infinite numbers aswell (e.g. infinity/2*infinity=1/2), sorry for the inconvenience caused
A pleasure to exchange ideas!
THE REFORMATION CANNOT BE OVER! [T] : @ MRALLINGER
So the zodiac signs are in alignment with in our body's
So why is Kabbalah historically allowed and available to the public?
Imagine a king fighting a battle lasting years. At the beginning, as it is just building up, he may dedicate limited resources. At the peak, when the whole kingdom is at stake, he will throw his entire fortune and every resource into the fight to ensure victory.
Kabbalah describes human history as that battle, and we are now at the absolute tipping point. So G0d is releasing and investing even the most hidden secrets to ensure our success.
I've been studying Kabbalah and the Tree of Life for years. This video states the following: Inspiration is Chokma, and Cognition is Binah. What what what!
I learned the opposite!
And according to the illustration: Why is Binah on the Right side of the human body, or on the right side of the Tree of Life? And Chokma on the Left side of the human body ...left side of the Tree of Life?
I always learned Binah is Female and Left hand path ... Male Chokma is Male and Right hand path.
No wonder all humans are insane. There is so much misinformation out there.
So wonderful to have you learning with our community, EvolveYourself. And thank you for your comment.
You are definitely correct that Binah is on the left/feminine side and Chochma on the right/masculine. If i misspoke somewhere in the class, please send me the time of where that happened and I can add a note to correct.
In terms of the definitions, every source I know of describes Chochma as the flash of inspiratiopn and binah as intellectual cogitation. If you have a good source that says the opposite, I would love to look that up, so please share that as well.
Thanks again, and wishing you continued success!
Cool class I hope you poke and prod them to actually meditate so they can pick up the call and see it firsthand through experience.

Oh - different class - this one follows my teacher Laibl Wolf’s book www.amazon.com/Practical-Kabbalah-Jewish-Wisdom-Everyday/dp/0609803786
It's not all ones and zeros......we have tens to write 😂
Isn't practical kabbalah forbidden in Judaism for means of divination? yet you named a book just that
You are correct that the practice of "Practical Kabbalah" traditionally involved divination, and is avoided. Rabbi Wolf's title, however, is a play on words, and he uses the word practical to mean "useful".
His book is an excellent way to take the esoteric wisdoms of Kabbalah and make them useful in living a meaningful and emotionally integrated life.
Thanks, sorry to assume it's just something I remember hearings about in my own studies. The title being a play on words makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the clarification!
Einshoph?
Ein = Without
Sof = end
Ein Sof = Infinite
human design
None of this made any sense ... I came here to learn what Kabbalah was and ????
Ein Sof: Learn, unlearn and relearn. RESHAPE. Ein Sof, or Eyn Sof (/eɪn sɒf/, Hebrew: אין סוף), in Kabbalah, is understood as God prior to any self-manifestation in the production of any spiritual domain (fake Gods or God and idols worshipers), "the Endless One" (she-en lo tiklah). Ein Sof may be translated as "unending", "(there is) no end", or infinity. Of the Ein Sof, nothing ("Ein") can be grasped ("Sof"-limitation). It is the origin of the Ohr Ein Sof, the "Infinite Light" of paradoxical divine self-knowledge, nullified within the Ein Sof prior to creation (expelled from paradise). In Lurianic Kabbalah, the first act of creation, the Tzimtzum self "withdrawal" of God to create an "empty space" and time or in other words the MORTAL, takes place from there. In Hasidic Judaism, the Tzimtzum is only the illusionary concealment of the Ohr Ein Sof, giving rise to monistic panentheism. Consequently, Hasidism focuses on the Atzmus divine essence, rooted higher within the Godhead than the Ein Sof, which is limited to infinitude, and reflected in the essence (etzem) of the Torah and the soul. Before He gave any shape to the world, before He produced any form, He was alone, without form and without resemblance to anything else. Who then can comprehend how He was before the Creation? Hence it is forbidden to lend Him any form or similitude, or even to call Him by His sacred name, or to indicate Him by a single letter or a single point. But after He created the form of the Heavenly Man, He used him as a vehicle wherein to descend, and He wishes to be called after His form, which is the sacred name "YHWH". In other words, "Ein Sof" signifies "the nameless being". In another passage the Zohar reduces the term to "Ein" (non-existent), because God so transcends human understanding as to be practically non-existent and no proof and experimentation. Similarly, there is no GOD but A-L-L-H created by none and his last messenger who could not read and write from Arabia.We believe in God and that which was revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and Ismail, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the Prophets received from their A-L-L-H through Angel. We make no distinction between any of them and unto Him we Ein Sof (nothing, analogy to immortal soul and something, anology to mortal natural laws). How I understood everything through science, mathematics and many not discovered or yet to be discovered as well spacetime + time, great knowlege on what I understood or how I understood them every thing vanishes from my mind and wake up with fully Ein Sof. May A-L-L-H is He, other than Whom there is no other god; Who knows both what is hidden and what can be witnessed; He is the Most Compassionate and Merciful to Islam, Jewish , Christians and all. "Assalam alaikum" and "Sholom aleichem", peace upon you from A-L-L-H, respectively. The posterity of Ismail extends, through affiliation with Islam, to many other ethnicities aside from the Arabs, across the globe. Yet, the Quran, the sacred text of Islam, repeatedly praises Moses (Musa), and Muslims, like Jews, believe that Moses alone, among the prophets, spoke directly to God. In addition, Jews and Muslims both circumcise their male offspring, the former at birth and the latter at or approaching puberty. And finally, the two religions share some dietary and other restrictions, such as a ban on consumption of pork. ISRAEL is the nation where there will be no conversion to jewish and ISLAM is spreading victoriously with no compulsion (loving and caring) without borders across nations. ISLAM by force or weaponary or sword or terrorist defetaed and crushed. Batlle of "UHUD" defetaed and crushed was the first example of hatred and greed.
