Z'ev ben Shimon Halevi is the Hebrew name of Warren Kenton. He was born in 1933 into a Sefardi Jewish Levite family in England. He was educated at St Martin's School of Art and the Royal Academy, where he was taught to see beyond the obvious. This acquired awareness led him to study the esoteric and Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition. Out of this came visits to its ancient and medieval spiritual centres in Europe, North Africa and Israel. Since 1970 he has taught groups all over the world, founded the international Kabbalah Society and written fifteen books that are now in fifteen languages, including Russian, Japanese and Hebrew. He has fraternal connections with other spiritual traditions and is a Fellow of the Temenos Academy in London where he lives and works.
