Overview

With characteristic wisdom and humor, the Rav decodes the Bible's grand saga to uncover a truly holy, timeless, unchanging communication from one generation to the next. In this volume we find discussions on the portions of Vayetze, Vayishlach, and Vayeshev. These readings are perhaps some the most enigmatic and unsavory of all Torah portions, yet with the Rav's insight, Jacob's ladder becomes an explanation for the very structure of reality itself, as well as the means by which the miracle on Mount Sinai came into being, when the blessing of the Torah was given to humankind. We see that the word Sulam, Hebrew for ""ladder,"" has the numerical value of 130, the same value of the word Sinai, making both the metaphor and the practical connection crystal clear. Here the Rav reveals the real structure and purpose of the universe, along with a methodology for embarking on a quest for truth, peace, wisdom, and the secret of spiritual correction.

Author Information

Rav Berg was born August 20, 1927, in New York City. After many years of traditional religious study, he was ordained as a rabbi at Torah VaDaat. A businessman who wanted to make a difference in this world, he was always searching for his true path. Upon a chance meeting with Rav Yehuda Brandwein, Rav Berg knew he had found his teacher, and moved to Israel to study with Rav Brandwein at The Kabbalah Centre. After he returned to New York, Rav Berg maintained a written correspondence with Rav Brandwein who passed on his legacy as Director of The Kabbalah Centre to Rav Berg. Rav Berg made it his mission to continue editing, writing, printing, and distributing all that he learned from his teacher and began sharing the secrets of Kabbalah texts, which historically had been reserved for scholars. His book, Kabbalah for the Layman, was the revolutionary step that made Kabbalah accessible to every person. Rav Berg's other books include The Kabbalah Connection, Wheels of a Soul: Kabbalah and Reincarnation, To the Power of One, Energy of the Hebrew Letters, Immortality, Nano, The Kabbalah Method, Taming Chaos, and Education of a Kabbalist. Together with his wife, Karen, Rav Berg opened the doors of The Kabbalah Centre to all who desire to learn this universal wisdom. Rav Berg left the world in September 2013, and Karen Berg departed in July 2020. Following their passing, their son Michael Berg continues their vision and their work as the Director of The Kabbalah Centre.
