Kabbalah for Beginners

Understanding and Applying Kabbalistic History, Concepts, and Practices

By: Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks

Narrated by: Steven Jay Cohen

Coming from the Hebrew root that means "to receive", Kabbalah is known as the "inner" or "esoteric" dimension of Judaism. Kabbalah for Beginners is your introduction to a great spiritual tradition that will help you deepen your experience of the divine through Kabbalistic portals into the eternal present.

Divided into four categories: theosophical, ecstatic, Hasidic, and contemporary, this book explores everything including ancient concepts, core teachings, practices and traditions, and even misconceptions of Kabbalah. Written in a contemporary tone and point of view, this beginner's guide brings this ancient discipline into the here and now.

In Kabbalah for Beginners you'll find:

• God is existence - the Kabbalist method is that God is not a being, not even the most supreme being, but is rather Being itself.
• What is Kabbalah - get inspired by interspersed quotes from the Torah and frequent sidebars that highlight the Kabbalah's relevance to listeners' experiences.
• Spirituality simplified - learn through a clear, straightforward language to bring intuitiveness to deep philosophical concepts.

Discover a contemporary guide to this ancient wisdom and move toward spiritual transformation.

Beautiful Jewish Spiritual text

This book is a treasure for all who value spiritual awakening in their lives. As a Jewess it was a gift to my soul…

Beautiful explanation

This text is beautifully narrated and wonderfully constructed. It provides the listener with a very well fought out explanation of the fundamentals of Kaballah. I would recommend this text to anybody beginning their understanding of Jewish mysticism.

Highly recommended for students of any tradition

I have very little background in Kabbalah, and I was expecting more “gatekeeping” and mystical obscurity based on what little I knew. This book surprised me with its accessibility, simplicity, and underlying unity with so many other traditions (Buddhism, Mystical Christianity, Advaita, Hinduism). Throughout my listen, I kept thinking, “I can’t wait to listen to this again.”

Helpfull along my journey✨

I have been going down a spiritual path and learning about the Kabbalah and this was a great way to hear new but definitely important aspect. thank you!

Subject / Title

Basic! I was hoping to go much deeper than the author took us. It was perfect for “the beginner”
