Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The Science of Kabbalah (Pticha) is the first in a series of texts that Rav Michael Laitman, Kabbalist and scientist, designed to introduce readers to the special language and terminology of the Kabbalah. Here, Rav Laitman reveals authentic Kabbalah in a manner that is both rational and mature. Readers are gradually led to an understanding of the logical design of the Universe and the life whose home it is. The Science of Kabbalah, a revolutionary work that is unmatched in its clarity, depth, and appeal to the intellect, will enable readers to approach the more technical works of Baal HaSulam (Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag), such as 'Talmud Eser Sefirot' and Zohar. Although scientists and philosophers will delight in its illumination, laymen will also enjoy the satisfying answers to the riddles of life that only authentic Kabbalah provides. Now, travel through the pages and prepare for an astonishing journey into the 'Upper Worlds'.


About the Author

KABBALIST RAV MICHAEL LAITMAN, a PhD in Philosophy and Kabbalah and an MS in Bio-cybernetics, is the founder and president of Bnei Baruch —Kabbalah Education & Research Institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing widespread knowledge of Kabbalah. For twelve years he studied closely at the side of his mentor, Kabbalist Baruch Ashlag, the first-born son and successor to Kabbalist Yehuda Ashlag, author of the Sulam commentary on The Zohar. Once he received Rav Ashlag’s teachings, he was committed to circulating it to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Only TRUE source of Kabbalah , November 14, 2005
This second in the series of books on Kabbalah brings the Zohar to an understanding for all. The original "Zohar" is actually a series of ancient texts which complile into a 23 volume encyclopedia set.
This new book by Kabbalist RAV Michael Laitman, a personal student of the great Kabbalist Rabbi Baruch Ashlag, is presented in an easy, excellent simplified form. He teaches the new student not only how to understand the Zohar, but how to interpret it.
Since the ancient secrets of Kabbalah has come about, you'll find many books stating they can explain it all in their book alone, as well as claiming to have the upmost knowledge, when in actuality, this is impossible.
The Zohar and other books of Kabbalah cannot fit into one text, or even two alone. For those seeking the only true source of the knowledge of Kabbalah, I highly encourage you to pick this, and read the first in this series by RAV Laitman entitled "The Science Of Kabbalah". You will quickly discover your new path to true spirituality. These two are the actual course books to the live free online classes taught by RAV Laitman himself, and the students of "Bnei Baruch", in Israel. At [...]
For those who have difficulty understanding these books, it is most encouraged that you visit the website, and watch the classes. We guarantee you will never turn back.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Invaluable Resource, November 3, 2008
What has impressed me in the course of relating with this book is the unique sense of immediacy and relevance that the reading feels imbued with.

Though the subject matter can appear abstruse and beyond reach, at just the right times, in just the right places, and in just the right way, Rav Laitman offers assistance. Rav Laitman's commentary helps clarify the ideas in the text, and perhaps more importantly the commentary helps clarify the correct approach to the text.

Invaluable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably not for the beginner, but a great and much-encompassing book., December 22, 2005
By N.C. (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This book is kinda heavy on terminology and is not an easy read by far. However, it is a great tool for the serious student. Spiritual phenomena are described in a very scientific and practical manner, rather than merely allotting them very abstract and blurry (or even worse: false or misleading) explanations as do some other books on Kabbalah today. It's a great introduction to the Holiest of books. Besides, Kabbalah is not attained through knowledge but rather through desire, so understanding everything is not key.
