The Live Kabbalah Podcast- Daily Wisdom, Deep Conversations, Inner Transformation

The universe is not an empty void but a vibrant symphony of creation, a masterpiece orchestrated by G-d. This grand composition is often called the Song of Creation or Perek Shira. This harmony surrounds us at every moment, inviting us to tune into our inherent connection to all existence.

The world is experiencing a powerful awakening of feminine energies, reflecting the expansion of global consciousness. Gevurah, one of the ten sefirot and a soul power within us, channels energy inward, fostering a deeper connection to our authentic selves. When our energy becomes scattered or overly tied to others’ needs, we risk losing our sense of self in a cycle of people-pleasing. Healing beg...

Did you know? Every part of the universe, from plants to planets, sings a wondrous song to Hashem! 🌌 King Solomon, known for his wisdom, could understand these songs, and together with King David, composed what's known as Perek Shira.

Cultivating healthy boundaries and redirecting our energies back to ourselves is at the core of a loving relationship with ourselves and others. Without it, there is no authentic connection to ourselves; there is no me, you, or love in between. Many of us had a breach of our mental, emotional, and physical boundaries as children. As a result, our energies are enmeshed, or a brick wall is energetic...

As we begin the new year, we find inspiration in Jacob's journey: "And Jacob went upon his way." Was it his path—or the Divine path set before him? This class dives into the thrill of discovering Hashem’s presence in our own journey forward. Join us for a powerful exploration and meditation on aligning with the higher path intended for us this year!

Rav Avraham Yitzchak Kook was a master of Torah and spiritual master of the heart. He was ahead of his time in understanding what our generation needs. In his work "Orot haTeshuva," Rav Kook breaks down what Teshuva—return—is really all about. In this class, we delve into the Teshuvan that our generation and world are really ready for.

This year is the year תשפ'ה, symbolizing the power that we have in our communication. פה also means “here” or presence. It is a year to be mindful and present to what is in our hearts and to communicate, share, sing, and express praise and gratitude from an authentic place of connection to ourselves and others ❤️

More than a regular "New Year" celebration, Rosh Hashana is a complete cosmic restart. Kabbalah explains that Rosh Hashana is celebrated on the sixth day of creation and not on the 25th day of Elul because the purpose of all of creation is that Adam—man and woman—should actualize their God-given potential.

We carry many old fear-based beliefs and perspectives that affect our relationship with G-d and the High Holidays. Beliefs and narratives that G-d is all about judgment, reward, and punishment prevent us from accessing the unconditional love and compassion available to us. Only by challenging and releasing the old narratives, beliefs, and perspectives can we make way for the new.

We are often the greatest self-critics. A Chassidic saying states, "More than the negativity of sin/mistake is the sadness and self-loathing that follows." In this class, we will explore the auspicious month of Elul, which helps us mend the perception of duality by recognizing that the Creator is found within all aspects of ourselves. In the Song of Songs, G-d is described as the "s...

In this episode of the Live Kabbalah podcast, Rabbi Amichai is joined by special guest Jessie Shapiro, an Ontological Coach. Together, they explore the significance of inner reflection and discuss how grounding ourselves in the earth helps us connect more deeply with our emotions and bodies.

Elul is a time of reflection and introspection when we examine who we are and who we are becoming. The Alter Rebbe famously said that during the month of Elul, "the King is in the field." This is a reference to the potential of the month of Elul. During this month, the King—Hashem—is in the field and is more accessible than ever. In Shulchan, it says that even Torah scholars who learned...

In this teaching we explore the profound Torah of the B'Nai Ysaschar, Rav Tzadok Ha'Cohen of Lublin and the Lubavitcher Rebbe for a deep understanding of the transaction of the months of Tammuz and Av to the auspicious month of Elul. Elul is a doorway and a portal in time that allows us to see that every situation we are placed in is exact. Once we find the door or gate, we can walk throug...

The 15th day of the month of Av stands out as one of the year's most potent days. According to the Talmud, Israel has seen no greater days than the 15th of Av and Yom Kippur. This date, marked by the full moon in Av, symbolizes the peak of descent following its ascent. From a Kabbalistic perspective, the moon embodies the Shechina—the feminine aspect of the Divine presence. Its ascent signifie...

In this captivating class, we explored the biography of the esoteric master of Kabbalah, Rabbi Yitzchak Luria Ashkenazi, the Arizal, the greatest Kabbalist of the past thousand years.  Recorded on the 5th of Av, 8/8/2024, the Hilula (day of passing) of the Arizal, we delved into his extraordinary biography, including his transformative years in Tzfat and the profound impact of his teachings, as ca...

AnaRina Kreisman on the Rich History and Spiritual Essence of Jerusalem In this episode of Live Kabbalah's podcast, we heard from AnaRina Kreisman, the director of Align with Zion and a tour guide for the City of David Archaeological site.

What is the difference between Destiny and Fate? Many of us think we know what these words mean. What is the actual definition and difference between the two? In this week's Torah portion- Pinchas, we learn about the division of the land of Israel to the tribes. This division was done by the casting of lots and via the Divine spirit. The casting of lots is called Go'ral in Hebrew or fate....

This powerful class discusses how to contend with our inner and outer darkness. The darkness we see in the world mirrors our inner darkness, yet we have the key to transmuting it into light, and it's called Rachamim- compassion. We know that the week's energy is encoded in the week's Torah portion. In the Torah portion of the week (July 19th), Balak, the king of Midyan, hires Ba'al...

One of the main pillars of life is the recognition that we can always start again. The great Chassidic masters said that even if someone commits the worst sins, they can and need to start again. What prevents us from starting again is the lack of belief in ourselves and in the Creator's infinite love and compassion.  While we are so harsh, shameful, and judgemental of ourselves, G-d looks at u...

The story of the spies, found in this week's Torah portion Shelach (Numbers 13-14), involves twelve leaders, one from each tribe of Israel, who were sent by Moses to scout the Promised Land of Canaan. Upon returning from their mission, ten of the spies reported that, while the land was indeed bountiful ("a land flowing with milk and honey"), its inhabitants were powerful, and their c...

What is the secret of the Jewish spirit? Despite persecution throughout world history, the Jews survived the mightiest empires. The secret of the Menorah, which Kabbalah and Chassidut elaborate upon, captures the unity and essence of Divine connection or self-sacrifice, which is our essence.   The Menorah is a symbol of the Jewish people. Beyond its profound symbolism, it carries a message of hope...

At the young age of 13, Adam contended with cancer in his right hip which was eventually amputated. In his journey as a paraplegic Olympian tennis player ranked 8th in the world, Adam had to quit his Olympic aspirations after sustaining another injury. This led him through a long trek in Africa, to South America, Australia, Israel, and ultimately to himself. Adam is a motivational speaker, coach,...
