Our Primary Objective

"The primary objective of Kabbalah is to achieve spirituality.

Only one thing is necessary - proper instruction. If a person studies Kabbalah in the right way, he progresses without forcing himself. There can be no coercion in spirituality.

The aim of study is for a person to discover the connecti0n between himself and what is written in the book; this should always be borne in mind. That is the reason Kabbalists wrote down what they experienced and achieved. It is not in order to acquire knowledge of how reality is built and functions, as in science. The intention of the Kabbalah texts is to create an understanding and assimilation of its spiritual truth.

If a person approaches the text in order to gain spirituality, the text becomes a source of light and corrects him."

Why do we need Kabbalah?

"Why do we need Kabbalah? Because Kabbalah is given to us as a springboard for change. It is given to us so we can know & perceive the Creator through any given moment throughout the day. These are the only reasons why the wisdom of Kabbalah was provided. Whoever learns Kabbalah in order to alter himself & improve himself, in order to know the Creator, reaches the stage in which he begins to see he can improve, & fulfill his true destiny in this lifetime."
