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 "Boriken23" (Laughlin AFB, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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
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)

1.0 out of 5 stars The power of stuff that isn't related to Kabbalah..., May 15, 2005
By R. Kaiser (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
While this may be a fun fiction work, this book tells you nothing about spirituality or actusal Kabbalah. Things you should know: Philip Shraga Berg, a former insurance salesman, claimed to be a rabbi and started his own Kabbalah religion called "The Kabbalah Centre". All of Berg's books on Kabbalah are full of terrible translations, censored and edited texts, and horrible commentary. Berg's "explanations" are rejected by all Jewish authorities, Orthodox and non-Orthodox, religious and academic. Finally, he isn't even accepted as a rabbi or as a Kabbalist by any of the Jewish denominations, and his work is rejected as totally inaccurate by modern-day scholars.

Now his sons are writing books using the same phony, non-Kabbalah ideas in order to make a profit. This really insults those who wish to truly learn about this topic. So instead of reading his nonsense, please check out books on this subject by real authorities and good writers:

Read, for instance, "The Jewish Mystical Tradition", by Ben Zion Bokser; "Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism", by Gershom Scholem; "Zohar: Annotated & Explained" by Daniel Chanan Matt and Andrew Harvey

I would also suggest "The Wisdom of The Zohar: An Anthology of Texts", Ed. Isaiah Tishby, and translated from the Hebrew by David Goldstein.
