The Kabbalah Centre entry

The Kabbalah Centre is a spiritual and educational organization dedicated to bringing the wisdom of Kabbalah to the world. The Centre itself has existed for more than 80 years, but its spiritual lineage extends back to Rav Isaac Luria in the 16th century and even further back to Rav Shimon bar Yochai, who revealed the principal text of Kabbalah, The Zohar, more than 2,000 years ago.

The Kabbalah Centre was founded in Jerusalem, in 1922, by Rav Yehuda Ashlag, one of the greatest kabbalists of the 20th century. When Rav Ashlag left this world, leadership of The Centre was taken on by Rav Yehuda Brandwein. Before his passing, Rav Brandwein designated Rav Berg as director of The Kabbalah Centre. Now, for more than 30 years, The Centre has been under the direction of Rav Berg, his wife Karen Berg, and their sons, Yehuda Berg and Michael Berg.

Although there are many scholarly studies of Kabbalah, The Centre does not teach Kabbalah as an academic discipline, but as a way of creating a better life. The mission of The Kabbalah Centre is to make the practical tools and spiritual teachings of Kabbalah available and accessible to everyone - regardless of religion, ethnicity, gender, or age. The Kabbalah Centre makes no promises. If people are willing to work hard to grow and become actively sharing, caring, and tolerant human beings, Kabbalah teaches that they will then experience fulfillment and joy in a way previously unknown to them. This sense of fulfillment, however, comes gradually and is always the result of the student's spiritual work.

Our ultimate goal is for all humanity to gain the happiness and fulfillment that is our true destiny.Kabbalah teaches its students to question and test everything they learn. One of the most important teachings of Kabbalah is that there is no coercion in spirituality.

The Kabbalah Centre is a non-profit organization.
