I love how the Rabbi says “you have to meet people where there at”. I’m originally from Ethiopia, and relate on my people being disconnected to their roots. Great dialogue.
Hi! I'm not Jewish. But i want to learn how jewish learn the Torah. I study the Bible. Old Testament and i desire to learn methods ways to acquire diferents perspectives of view. Shalom!
That's great! You might want to explore our channel and other educational opportunities www.myjli.com/index.html We welcome all students from all backgrounds!
Rabbi Wolf, thank you for this. Question: Why were the 4 levels of Torah made so increasingly esoteric and arcane. Why didn't G-d give us all the capacity to understand this?

Rabbi Wolf published a book titled Practical Kabbalah which I’ve been studying for awhile. Excellent introduction to begin to how practicing it can elevate one’s spiritual consciousness.
Good talk, this Rabbi is definitely one of the better ones. Everyone can learn something from just this small video, everything is there in plain commonsense language (apart from the Hebrew terms ha ha!)
@@myJLI I was just joking that there will always be Hebrew terms used to describe anything in Hebrew! You explained them all but they will always be there to learn. Thanks for your concern!
From his discussions the teachings and practice of Kabbalah included Eastern practices such as meditation and Buddhist mindfulness to enhance their spiritual belief.
My father’s family did not believe that ordinary people should study Kabbalah. They were Lithuanian Jews. Is there a reason why some Jews do not study? Also, can you explain why some non-Jews do study it.?
The Kabbalah is studied by learned, righteous people. Mysticism and spiritual concepts in the Kabbalah are not considered appropriate for the layman to study. Only those on an elevated religious and intellectual level may study Kabbalah in the orthodox Jewish world.
I can't give you a thorough explanation on why some Jewish sects de-emphasize Kabbalah. To Chabad Chassidus, Yiddishkeit is incomplete without it. Many non - Jews have connected with their mission as "Noahides" - followers of the seven Noahide laws. One Chabad Rabbi answered when I asked a similar question that these individuals are drawn to it since they recognize truth.
I've learned from the Orthodox Rabbis, that a person should definitely NOT study Kabbalah, before they've learned the Tanach thoroughly. In other words, you need to learn the basics, before going on to more complicated scriptures.
How astonishing are the similarities between Hebrew terms and Classical Arabic words: Kabbalah - Qabala (receiving or reciprocate something) Peshat - Baseet (Simplified, levelled out all unevenness) Durush - Durus - (deeper study or knowledge) Zohar - Zhahara (prevailing over all, outreached, surpassed)
Ok, this is amazing. However, his voice is so similar to Richard Dawkins...I've got the heeby jeebies. Please host a discussion between the two so I can remain calm.
Okay, what does "Transcript has moved to Description" mean?... oh, never mind; I found it (in the 'Description'), I just had to turn off my ad-blocker to use the "Show transcript"-button.
Me too. It added to my understanding. The wisdom of kabbalah is amazing. It’s practical too. It is compatible to Roman Catholic faith and as a matter of fact, it supports/compliments it. It does not conflict it.
Kabbalah is full of mysticism It is hard to learn this subject Harry Potter books are much easier than Kabbalah ,so focus on easy things then go to the harder ones
