Energy of the Hebrew Letters

by Philip S. Berg

The Zohar tells us that one of God’s first creations was the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. But these letters are far more than the simple symbols of communication. Kabbalists teach that the letters are like wires, a technology for transferring energy from the Light of God into the physical world. The allegory of the letters as they pleaded their respective cases for the primary role in God’s creative process is the blueprint by which Creation was made possible.

Rav Berg illustrates the bedrock of Kabbalah, and poetically reveals the spiritual meaning and history of each of the twenty-two letters: How and why it was created, and what energy it transmits to us.

Summary: Great if you must learn the deeper meaning of the Hebrew alphabet. Probably good to have as a reference.

I can't tell if this is simply how the alphabet is taught or if the writer did a great job at talking through each letter and it's place and meaning as relates to the word of God. I enjoyed it though I likely would want to memorize what he's saying. This likely requires more than 1 read if you are not from this religion and culture from childhood learning these stories.

¡Muy interesante!

Es mi primer acercamiento a las letras hebreas, no me ha sido fácil su comprensión, pero entiendo que son sumamente profundas y complejas. Me deja una idea general y de su poder. Creo que es un libro que requiere una relectura o más para asimilar con mayor precisión algunos puntos. Definitivamente me siento muy interesada en ahondar en este tema.

Enjoyed. Twice.

The first time through, much was unfamiliar to me. But intriguing. Especially the role of Blessing. So I read it again. Much more informative and challenging. The mystic in me will be reading more by this author.

Está bien Pat aprender .

Not a dense text and works well as an introductory guide to read the Zohar.

Although I do not completely understand the science, this book is interesting when wanting to learn about some of the beliefs in Kaballah.

It uses the framework of a story about the Hebrew letters asking to be used for Creation and explains the battle between good and evil in the answers, which is very enjoyable.

I understood some Bible stories more clearly, such as the story of Joseph and his brothers.
