Book Description

July 26, 2004
Is it possible to turn that rush that comes from closing a business deal or having a brief, passionate affair into an enduring sense of wholeness and peace? Kabbalah, according to its increasingly large group of practitioners, is the path from that fleeting feeling of pleasure that most people settle for to the lasting fulfillment that is their birthright as human beings. In The Power of Kabbalah, renowned teacher Yehuda Berg shows how to view and navigate through life by tapping Kabbalistic truths. He explains the key process of transforming from a reactive to a proactive being that will in turn trigger increased creative energy, greater personal power, and a stronger and more satisfying sense of life. These teachings include embracing rather than avoiding problems and obstacles as true opportunities for spiritual development; making miracles through positive thinking; and accepting responsibility for what happens in one's life.


Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

At first glance, The Power of Kabbalah seems like an overly simplistic spiritual instruction manual. The language and anecdotes are rabbi-style cozy and the format is exceptionally approachable: one-to-two-page essays. But read a few pages and you're hooked into an experience that immediately promises enlightenment (and eventually delivers it). Although the Kabbalah has its roots in Jewish mysticism, this non-dogmatic manual is applicable to all spiritual seekers. Like Wayne Dyer's bestselling book The Power of Intention, this is actually a book about manifesting the life you want through understanding the laws of spiritual energy and attraction. "To fulfill its giving nature, the infinite force of Energy created a receiver—-in Kabbalah it's called a Vessel," author Yehuda Berg explains. You guessed it, all of us earth souls represent the Vessel, and our spiritual task is to stop resisting the giving nature of Energy and let our Vessels fill up and runneth over.... This is an obvious choice for students of Jewish mysticism, but it's an equally appropriate book for anyone looking for ancient traditions to support contemporary spiritual discussions about the laws of attraction. --Gail Hudson

2.0 out of 5 stars Some good stuff in here, and some bad stuff in here., November 24, 2004
By 
J. Colon (San Juan, PR.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Power of Kabbalah: Technology for the Soul (Hardcover)
I'll start with the good stuff. This book challenges you to look at life in a different way. To actually seek out challenges in life, not to avoid them. True spiritual growth comes from taking advantage of life's tribulations. I can totally agree with that. This book also encourages people to give up the "culture of victimhood" and leave it behind. An idea I adore. The book also tells people that if you have absolute faith in God, or a higher power, if you are certain that God will give you what you NEED, great things will happen. That's not a new idea, but it's certainly true.
Now on to the bad stuff. The author of this book is SHAMELESS in his manner of rewriting history. According to Yehuda Berg, anybody who was anybody in history was great because of the Kabbalah. Any great idea that ever came from those people we hear about came to them because they were Kabbalists. The Dark Ages came about because Kabbalists hid The Zohar, the Kabbalah holy text, in a cave which caused "civilization" to plummet into chaos without its "wisdom". The author clearly intends us to forget that ONLY EUROPE was affected by the Dark Ages, and that the Middle East was experiencing a time of great prosperity and intellectual achievement. The author states that both Buddhism and Hinduism owe their existence to Kabbalists moving to India to spread their philosophy. I mean, come on! The ideas in this book don't need to be legitimized in such a silly manner.
Do I suggest that you read this book? Possibly. It can be a positive experience. Just remember to read this book with a great amount of skepticism.

5.0 out of 5 stars look within for your truth., July 17, 2005
This review is from: The Power of Kabbalah: Technology for the Soul (Hardcover)
I've noticed that many people see a need to Berg-bash in their reviews. I'm not certain what their true motives for doing so are. But, this book is well worth reading as an introduction to Kabbalah. No it is not the definative scholarly text of the belief, but it serves to introduce you to a system of belief that can improve your life. Don't fear it or the Bergs.
I've also noticed many reviews that seem to be written from a very Christian point of view. This perplexes me, I myself was raised Anglican, Educated at a Jesuit university and frequently considered the call of ministry. But why do so many Christians dismiss different (i.e....hebrew/kabbalah) as being dangerous new age heresy? it just begs this statement to be made, anything that may have occured prior to crucifixion was most certainly not of the Christian movement. The movement of Christianity was AFTER the crucifixion. Therefore, Jesus and his friends were most certainly Jewish. Very progressive Jews I might add. He may very well have been a carpenter turned Rabbi. And he might even have been exposed to the Kabbalah; seems many of his ideas were awfully close to it......thus the more conservative non-progressive Jewish community might have been threatened by him..... and we all know where that led.
So, pause a moment when reading these reviews. If you are drawn to this book, by all means buy and read it. It may contain the answers you seek. Question the motives of those that seem merely to dislike the Bergs of for that matter those that are locked into a strict Christian paradigm. They may not be willing to see the merits of the book.
and please, to the Fundamentalist out there; do consider the history of your faith. reason dictates that this anti-semetic tone I see so much of in these reviews is most unfounded. Consider that without Judaism, Christianity would never have happened. We all share common roots. aleph kaf aleph. (go look it up)

3.0 out of 5 stars Dial 1-800-KABBALAH, November 25, 2004
This review is from: The Power of Kabbalah: Technology for the Soul (Hardcover)
Here is a book that demystifies the secrets contained in the ancient writing of the kabbalah. As a service to the public, author Yehudah Berg presents a quick, easy-to-read outline of the basic tenets of kabbalah.

I have two reactions to this book. The first is that I appreciate being able to have a feeling for what the kabbalah is because I always thought it was something that was only appropriate for a rabbi or sage to study and not for the average man. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the basic tenets of the kabbalah mirror those thoughts I have developed about spirituality as opposed to religiosity during my life.

My second reaction was of disappointment. Sadness that such a miraculous work is watered down to such a degree that it feels like "marketing' the kabbalah in the same way that any cult goes about selling its philopsophy. Particularly objectionable to me is the book cover endorsment by Madonna. In addition, I really dislike the blatant advertising of other books by the same publisher and the offers of a free consultation at the back of the book. This makes the entire book seem more like a late-night TV ad than a book about a serious subject.
