For many centuries, the wisdom of Kabbalah was inaccessible to anyone who could not read Hebrew. Now, for the first time in the history of the Western World, readers of the English language and serious students of Kabbalah have the opportunity to learn the Wisdom of Kabbalah from the 20th Century’s greatest Kabbalist, Baal HaSulam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this text <\/a>[1<\/a><\/strong>] the student will find a systematic, graduated, exposition of Kabbalah unlike any treatment found in other available texts. This text comes with a brilliant commentary by Michael Laitman, a scientist and Kabbalist who received the Tradition from that illustrious chain that includes the Ari, Baal HaSulam, and his teacher, Rabash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Wisdom of Kabbalah” is an exhaustive text that the reader will certainly make a steady companion in his exploration of the ‘Upper Worlds’ for many years to come. Enjoy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
