I've had the privledge to attend shirum and an Isralight retreat hosted by Rabbi David Aaron. I have many audio and printed books on this and similar Chassidic subjects but none compare to the debt and presentation here. This studio quality recording is superb. Rabbi Aaron goes beyond his normal lectures in this CD set to capture your attention for all 5 CD's leaving you clinging for more. I'm sure anyone who owns this set will enjoy it as much as I and be inspired to continue learning and finding more presentations from this great storyteller.

If you have any curiosity about the Kabbalah, this is a superb introduction - especially in audio form. I stumbled on it at my local library and expected at best a straightforward explanation of the basic tenets of the Kabbalah, and at worst a dry, theological lecture. Instead, I discovered a very endearing book read by the author who has one of the most listenable voices possible. He does not go into the details - I'm assuming there are a lot of details to the Kabbalah - but introduces some main ideas through captivating personal stories. Among other things, he talks about how God cannot be a stern being who is apart from us and whom we have to dread and obey. And he shows why this is so in a way that makes it self-evident. A truly excellent book.

This audio series is simply and tastefully recorded. It does the job of moving you to know yourself a little better without being heavily dogmatic.

This is the first information I have received on Kabbalah. I enjoyed it throughly. I was surprised as to how "Eastern" these mystical Jewish beliefs are, and look forward to more information from Rabbi Aaron and on Kabbalah.
