"Women Help Bring Tikkun Olam" - Karen Berg

Karen Berg, along with her husband Rav Berg have helped bring the Kabbalah to large numbers of people that would otherwise not have access to this previously esoteric ancient wisdom. And until Karen Berg became involved as a woman, the Kabbalah was forbidden to women to devote time to studying. Now the Kabbalah Centre is open to all, whether man or woman, Jewish or non-Jewish, rich or poor. This openness and broad inclusiveness will help the adherents of Kabbalistic practice bring the longed for and long awaited tikkun olam, which is the ultimate goal of existence.

Karen Berg Discusses the Shechina on YouTube

In an interview broadcast on a YouTube video, Karen Berg discusses what the Schechina is and how it effects the world we live in. Karen explains how the tree of life in the story of creation represents the world above where godliness dwells and it is a unified whole. But when man and woman are created and then they eat from the tree of knowlege of good and evil this action represents the duality of the world. Karen then goes on to explain how there was innocence in the world before Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowlege, but afterwards they lost their innocence when they ate. Ms. Berg goes on to explain how children, until the age of twelve or so, still have this innocence, but when they lose it, it is up to the adults around them to give them the knowlege needed to create a better world and bring the unity of the tree of life back into the world.

Karen Berg:"God Wears Lipstick"

Until Karen Berg came along, Kabbalah was not accessible to women at all. For the past thirty years and more Karen Berg has been running the Kabbalah Centre in partnership with her husband, Rav Berg, and helping make women an integral part in the dissemination of the wisdom and practice of Kabbalah.

In “God Wears Lipstick” written by Karen Berg you can travel through the world of Kabbalah and the feminine aspect of creation with Karen as your expert guide. In her new book you will learn about the special role women play in the spiritual universe; in what way women have a spiritual advantage; the strength and beauty of soul mates; what is the real purpose of life. Karen also takes you on a frank discussion of relationships, the sacred power of sex and even reincarnation.

“Women are the nourishers of the world, and as such, we are the messengers of God.”
--Karen Berg

Kabbalah Centre Charitable Foundation Helps Orphans of Malawi

One of the projects taken on by ‘The Kabbalah Centre Charitable Foundation is “Raising Malawi: Orphan  Care Initiative.” This program is a grassroots initiative to help the more than 1 million orphans of Malawi in a comprehensive, compassionate and effective way. Do to the overwhelming impoverishment of the country, famine, and serious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis the 12 million person population of Malawi has been devastated.

“Raising Malawi” is effective because it does not have to contend with the bureaucracy and red-tape of national relief efforts and it is run as well as staffed by volunteers from the Kabbalah Center. The goal is to raise the orphans of Malawi from utter powerlessness to a state of self-empowerment. Not an easy goal, but at the Kabbalah Centre we believe this is our job to bring about the manifestation of the Light into the world.

Kabbalists: People of Action Making a Difference

The Kabbalah Centre Charitable Foundation is an organization sponsored by the Kabbalah Center which identifies and responds to what are the urgent needs in a community. Urgent and critical needs are identified in far-reaching communities across the globe so that effective responses are initiated which will adequately address the particular circumstances of that community.

As Kabbalists we are people of action, and as such we are the volunteers that make the special programs happen. Students of the Kabbalah Centre believe that sharing with others causes the miracles in our own lives to be manifest. That is why volunteering is such a positive way to express the wisdom and power of the Kabbalah.

Kabbalah Centre Charitable Foundation Improves Peoples Lives

Kabbalists are people of action, not content to theorize and philosophize about the meaning of life, but rather to get out into the world and make a difference. We are always looking for ways to help people so that society as a whole will be improved.

With this truth in mind the Kabbalah Center has established ‘The Kabbalah Centre Charitable Foundation.’ Not only are people in needed help with their financial needs, but programs are created which will help people improve their lives in the long-run. These programs benefit the local communities as well as the global community, thus bringing the world closer to its ideal state.

More About the Red String:Powerful Protecting Tool

The Kabbalah Center explores all the various forms the wisdom of the Kabbalah has taken throughout the ages. As one of the oldest of the traditional wisdoms still in practice, it must be carefully and faithfully studied in all its aspects for mankind to reap all the benefits it offers.

One of the practices which the Kabbalah Centre has been teaching to its students is the role the Red String has in combating the Evil Eye and protecting people from its dangers. The Evil Eye is the negative force in the world which prevents us from achieving our personal spiritual goals and can even harm and destroy whatever transformations we have already made.

How does the Red String provide its protection? In two special ways. First of all, the string itself is taken from red wool which has been wrapped around the holy site known as Rachel's Tomb, found in the Holy City of Bethlehem. At this amazing location spirituality flows in a direct path from the source of mother Rachel's protecting spirit. In addition the color red, which is a universal symbol of danger, uses the destructiveforce of danger to combat the equally destructive force of resentment, jealousy and envy.

You can learn more about the amazing Red String from the Kabbalah Center, in addition to many other ways of improving yourself and the entire world.

The Red String:Spiritual Protection from Envy

The Kabbalah teaches that there is a negative force in the world which has been called "The Evil Eye" from ancient times. This destructive force can hold us back from achieving our spiritual goals, and can even destroy any advancements we have already made to self transformation and personal improvements in our inner world and outer behaviour.

This Evil Eye, although powerful and ever present, can be combated with a simple tool which has been handed down throughout the milennia via the wisdom of the Kabbalah- that is the simple but effective Red String. This Red String, made from pure lamb's wool and dyed red, is tyed about the left wrist and worn as protection from the forces of jealosy, envy and resentment which are so prevalent among our civilization in modern times.

Kabbalah Meditation

Meditation is when you move your mind from a state of activity to a state of calm and silence, and then you are relaxed yet alert.

Meditation has been a practice of the major religions for years, this includes Ancient Hindu, Christianity, Jews and Muslims. These religious traditions may incorporate meditation but, of course, you don't need to be religious to meditate.

One of the traditions that include this practice is the philosophy of the Kabbalah. This focuses on meditation and prayer, teaching that these can enhance health and healing and also raise one's consciousness. The Kabbalah Center has 37 locations and a large collection of resources on their Web site: www.kabbalah.com.
