Kabbalah 101 With Rav Ellen Roth

Kabbalah is the study of the soul: The human soul, the soul of Torah, and the soul of everything in the material world. 

“There are many layers to reality. The material world experience as we know it is just the surface level, within which exist many dimensions of spiritual energy waiting to be released. By appreciating these inner layers, we can learn to  make order out of disorder, to gain insight into the unknown  forces that determine all movement and behavior.”  — From Toward a Meaningful Life by Rabbi Simon Jacobson
