Do You Believe In Miracles?

Menorah or chanukiah with candles glowing.

“Tis the season of miracles–if you are Jewish. And I am. Last night we lit the first Chanukah candles. As they flickered and shone, I thought about the miracles in my life and how miracles are created. The story of Chanukah is about miracles…large army defeated by a small one, small jug of oil that [...]

Defining Kabbalah: It’s All About Receiving

Kabbalah involves conscious creation and the law of attracton.

For a long time I struggled with how to define Kabbalah. I’d talk about the different major books, like the Sefer Yetzirah (Book of Creation), and the major teachers, such as Abraham Abulafia and Isaac Luria. I never failed, however, to mention the definition of the Hebrew word itself – kabbalah. And as my study took [...]

Changing Old Habits can Prove Difficult

2012. The world was supposed to end, some said. (We knew better.) But things were supposed to change–the energy was supposed to change, at least.  A whole week has gone by. We are being flooded now with the light of the first full moon of this pivotal year, which is supposed to affect our consciousness [...]

Do You Question Your Beliefs?

matisyahu_beardless

Do you ever question your beliefs about Your religion? Do you question God’s word, the value of the commandments, the teachings of the forefathers, the meaning of the rituals and prayers? They say the Jewish people are God wrestlers. We don’t always accept God’s word or anything to do with our religion without questions, without [...]

The Meaning of 11-11-11

2011-11-10_2259

I’ve been getting emails all week about events related today’s auspicious date: 11-11-11. Sure, it’s cool that the date consists of all ones, but what does this really mean? We all want it to mean something…just like we want the end of the Mayan calendar on December 31, 2011 to mean something…significant. I don’t think [...]

Don’t Run When God Calls, Go Fulfill Your Purpose

“And the word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai, saying: Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city…” How often in your life have you heard God’s voice? Ever? Once? Many times? For me…It’s a still small voice…very small…I have to listen hard. I hear it if I pay close attention. When the [...]

God is the Giver, We are the Receivers (Part 1)

One of the major premises in my work, both my writing and teaching, revolves around the need to give as well as to receive. The two are integrally connected. Indeed, when we give, we open ourselves to receiving. Yet, we don’t want to give in order to receive. When we give, we make room to [...]

This gives you a chance to experience what Kabbalistic conscious creation coaching is all about. This month we will start [...]

If Fulfillment of Our Desires Won't Make Us Happy, What Will?

While it is all well and good to want “things” in the physical world, and it is part of our nature as physical beings to want and to need material stuff, the Kabbalists teach that such desires — and even the fulfillment of those desires — will never make us happy.  Additionally, they will never [...]
