Course Catalog

Fundamentals of Kabbalah

The Fundamentals course introduces you to key Kabbalistic concepts such as perception of reality, the evolution of human desires, how one can discover one's true nature, the growth of egoism, how it has led the world to its current state, and the revelation of the benevolence of Nature's force which governs everything.

Experienced instructors present the principles in such a way that you will come to understand Kabbalah's unique language and terminology, as well as the scientific basis of its principles and the special approach to study.

Classes focus on the forces that are the blueprint of this world, showing students how to relate to them on a personal level. Each class provides you with the opportunity to ask the instructor questions as authentic texts are presented and explained.

The Fundamentals class gives you the foundation you need to continue in your Kabbalistic studies as you learn how to put these concepts into practice.

Advanced Kabbalah

Having established a solid foundation in the Fundamentals and Intermediate classes, you can move on to an in-depth mode of study in the Advanced class.

You will be introduced to the lessons taught by Dr. Michael Laitman, founder of Bnei Baruch and the foremost Kabbalist in the world today. Once you begin your studies with Dr. Laitman, you will be able to participate in the Zohar lessons, which are held several times per week. This important path of study opens one to realize the truth that lies within the words, "And a man's soul shall teach him."

Course Instructors

The Learning Center's instructors are advanced students of Dr. Michael Laitman, who is continuing the teaching tradition that began with Abraham thousands of years ago. The study program is based on sources from the greatest Kabbalists of all times: the Zohar, the works by the Ari, and the writings of Baal HaSulam. The instructors will be your guides, helping you understand the concepts and language that you need to progress in your personal journey.

Dr. Laitman also takes a personal interest in the Learning Center, and will be a frequent guest in the course. Through this process, you will develop the foundation needed to study directly with Dr. Laitman in his daily classes, and to connect to your most important instructor: as it is written, “A man’s soul shall teach him.” (Shamati 88, Baal HaSulam)
