Greater the darkness, stronger the light.

[BaronMcCausland]

Beautiful teachings which emanate Wisdom and Love. Thank you!

[LeonExplores]

This is a great explanation! Thank you, Rabbi Dr. Breitowitz!

Hello Rabbi Dr. Breitowitz, it’s Kabbalah available for women too or just for men?

[cherylbenton]

Thank you so much for sharing this wisdom and light. On my path, I feel drawn to and guided toward these ideas, without knowing anything about them, but open to and grateful for all teaching.

This was great and simple to understand thank you. You can see the cross overs to Gnostic beliefs, Plato and Neo Platonism with the material and upper worlds, all with different belief systems of course. You often hear a lot of darkness about Kabbalah so this was nice to hear this explanation to.

That was awesome. Made me homesick for my childhood and educated me at the same time. I love this!

[MayimHastings]

Thank you so much, Rabbi! Coming from a Catholic Christian background (now converting to Judaism, Baruch HaShem) it’s fascinating to learn all of this. It reminds me (although not exactly the same thing) of ‘lectio divina’ which means to study prayerfully with G-d’s guidance. Please pray for me and my family as I’m still in the early stages of conversion and I’m struggling to say the right things to them. I think my Dad might convert as well, and my Mother will surely lop my head off then 🤣. But seriously, she’s really hurting over this. ❤️🙏

This is a great video and I appreciated the introduction to the topic. Also, my notifications mentioned something called Paradise, Hell, and Reincarnation that was streamed live yesterday. Sadly i could not be at the live stream. I hope it is posted as a video soon.

God asked us to keep distance from misticism .

[roxannebrown]

Thank you I am encouraged to do good...

[ismailzulfiqar]

Greater the light better the life be .

[mathlishlearning]

Rabbi I am so thankful for the universal awareness at this time so as we top into a certain relm the universe will bring this awareness to our consciousness

[dorothyhendrix]

Thank you for the explanation and the “warning” that I had been curious about. I have been privileged to experience this “oneness” you explain…

Be the change I wish to see in the world, right?

[galanbrown]

Best explanation I have heard! (almost quantum string theory)

[mdmommy]

ty. that was a very validating you explained it well!

[aliefradilbaz]

That short speech was very informative and explanatory. Thank you very much. Especially the part that was about "God needing us to create the type of world that God intended to." (Does it make sense to give gender to God and address God as he (like people usually do??? Anyway, long story short, thank you so much and there is much to be learned.
