I believe in the message, but I fear the 'message is the media' effect. Presenting the message in such a direct and simplistic way lessens its impact and many readers may wind up equating the Kabbalah with things like 'The Secret' and others of its ilk. I understand the impulse. A master of the Kabbalah must sometimes want to grab every person he sees and shake them and say, 'This isn't it - this isn't our reality!' But a master of the Kabbalah knows that such knowledge is not easily won show more because, in the end, the message is only understood and it only transforms when it comes from within - not from without.

The Kabbalah is not 'The Secret.' At best, this book is just a simplistic wake-up call - it won't put you behind the wheel of a Porsche. show less

The ALL CAPS AND HOT PINK Text sprinkled LIBERALLY throughout the book may put some people off. BUt if you can get past the formatting, one thing that comes across is this man's love for God. Whether or not you agree Kabbalah is the way to become like God, his passion for not being complacent in the pursuit of God is inspiring. For that alone, I would probably recommend this book.

If you are into Kabbalah this is another in a series of books by this author you'll find interesting.

Very helpful overview of kabbalistic teachings.
