The Bnei Baruch organization, in conjunction with TAPUZ – flix.co.il, a leading Israeli website, has launched a competition of video clips that congratulate people with the upcoming Rosh HaShanah – the Israeli New Year.

We ask all our friends to participate in the competition and post their videos on this website, congratulating people with the New Year. The videos can be in English, Hebrew, or without any words. Good luck!

The above video shows my student – the famous singer and song writer Arkady Duchin. He stars in a weekly TV show at our studio called “Let’s Make a Song.” On this show he writes lyrics and music to a new song together with a group of children, and then they perform it together. The children are my students’ children, and you can also see them at my Kabbalah lessons for children.

A question I received: If the purpose of your blog is to disseminate Kabbalah to the outside, wouldn’t it be better to give preference to questions from people who have little familiarity with the subject, and set aside your students’ questions?

My Answer: I answer everyone’s questions. But what ends up happening is that the answers that get published are responses to my students, because the beginners’ questions always repeat themselves, and I don’t answer the same question twice. When a person enters this blog, if he is really interested in the topic of the blog, then he should study it and look through all 550 previous posts.

Do you have another suggestion for how I should react to the constantly recurring questions? Maybe we should collect them and publish them on a separate page together with the answers, and then redirect people to that page?

I warmly welcome all beginners! After all, this blog is educational. Please give me suggestions on how to improve it. I thank you in advance!

On Sunday the Mexican group gave out 3,500 newspapers. Altogether 15,000 copies have been printed and will be disseminated over the next several weeks.

Latin America is waking up to spiritual development. It has the fastest growing groups and the most new individual students compared to any other part of the world. Good luck friends!

I had a conversation that was recorded for an upcoming TV series on the topic of the Upper Force. I spoke with:

Daniel Lamberg – attorney and insurance expert,
Shlomi Buchana – Professor of Economics at Bar-Ilan University,
Ben-Tzion Gertz – writer and host of the program.

We only perceive a small part of the world and we don’t know what will happen to us a moment later or in the distant future. We don’t know what desires will suddenly appear in our heart, or what thoughts will appear in our mind that might force us to act contrary to our common sense and prior desires.

We write off anything we don’t know as the “Upper Force” – some superior force that causes an unexpected turn of events and often excuses us from liability for them. Judicial authorities, insurance companies, and financial markets all view this “intrusion” of the Upper Force into our lives differently and interpret it in their own way.

We have just published my first book in Arabic – a translation of the book From Chaos to Harmony.

There are many people among the Arabic population who are interested in spiritual ascent. This has ancient roots in the general Arabic culture. I have many students whose native language is Arabic, and therefore I am very glad that this book has been published. After all, Kabbalah was revealed to the world by our common forefather Abraham.

I hope that we will soon publish many more Kabbalistic books in Arabic with the help of my Arabic students. I look forward to working together!

A question I received: I suggest that you record an audio version of the newspaper Kabbalah Today and disseminate it. From my experience, I know that there are many people who enjoy listening to your lessons and talks – including most of my coworkers. I’m sure that if you do the same thing with the newspaper, it will be a great success!

My Answer: We have already recorded several audio versions of the newspaper Kabbalah Today – see the links below.

We have just published a new edition of the collected works of Rabash (in Hebrew). The three volume set of books includes materials that have never before been published. The books can be purchased here.

This three volume set of books contains all the materials of Rabash. In addition, we are currently preparing the collected works of Baal HaSulam for publication as well.

We only study the works of Baal HaSulam and Rabash. This is why I recommend for everyone to have these books.
