This deeply felt memoir illuminates Rav Berg's relationship with his master, the great Kabbalist Rabbi Yehuda Brandwein—as well as the growth of The Kabbalah Centre, the world's largest organization dedicated to spreading the wisdom of Kabbalah. This is simply the most honest, accurate, and emotionally moving book ever written about a man who truly lives by the principles of Kabbalah in the contemporary world. No aspect of Kabbalah is more important than the relationship between master and student. In Education of a Kabbalist, this essential element is unforgettably brought to life.
For me a characteristic of somebody who has been working with Kabbalah is humility. Rav is a title what other people can use for those who they respect. It means great. A humble person would never call himself rav, not to mention commit self-publish something using this title. So it was clear that Berg is not humble. But adding the word “kabbalist” makes it worse. As far as I knew such title does not exist.
El libro me ha ayudado a conocer a Rav Brandwein, a interesarme en leer Las 10 emanaciones Luminosas, de Rav Ashlag, a interesarme en Isaac Luria.
Y también hay un puñado de sabiduría muy hermosa.
Pero en general no es un libro que se trate de ir al meollo del asunto. Para quien lea esta reseña, recomiendo más El Poder de la Kabbalah, de Yehuda Berg, y sin duda Nano, de Rav Berg.
