The book "Spiritual Search" is a collection of Kabbalistic texts, which introduce a reader to the major areas of Kabbalah study. The list includes: the structure, matter and the purpose of creation; man's place in it; and the ways of going to a deeper perception of the world not limited by ordinary needs. As a result of such a search, one achieves attainment of the world and its complexity. At that point, preoccupation shifts from immediacy to destiny and transforms a mere primate into a Human Being. The Science of Kabbalah, presents instruction for a spiritual search without which such a transformation is difficult to impossible.
Currently, only a small part of this book is available for the English reader - Eighteen Talks for the Beginners.
The Book of Zohar is an age-old source of wisdom and the basis of much of Kabbalistic literature. Throughout the centuries it was the primary and often the only book used by Kabbalists and now it is accessible to contemporary man. Written in a unique and metaphorical language, the book enriches our understanding of reality and substantially widens our worldview thus making fundamentals of the structure of creation more approachable and real. The Book of Zohar has been considered to be the foundation of all. In it can be found principles voiced by Kabbalists of ages ago which are only now being tentatively embraced by modern science. It deals with issues such as the mutual dependency and penetration between the one who attains and what is attained; principles underlying the Universe; and human as micro-world/world as macro world. The life bearing tone of these texts and their positive influence on a reader are simply amazing. These and many other miraculous qualities of the book help even the first time reader to realize why the author gave it such a name: the book of Zohar, "The Book of Radiance".

Generations come and go, yet every generation and every individual asks the same question about the meaning of life. This happens especially at times of war and global suffering, and during periods of misfortune that befall each of us at some point in our lives. What is the purpose of life, which is so costly to us? And shouldn’t the absence of suffering be deemed as happiness?
