About this title

Synopsis

The bond between spiritual teacher and his student is one of one heart, one consciousness united by study and a mutual goad. As these two souls on a path converge, they carry the lineage of previous masters, and ignite the way for future generations. This book is a rare glimpse into such a relationship. Through the correspondence presented here, 37 letters written from Rav Brandwein to Rav Berg between 1965 and 1969, we gain deep insights into spiritual lessons shared by teacher with student. The letters are presented without a filter of interpretation, allowing readers to leave with answers and more questions and a yearning for greater wisdom. Rav Brandwein always instructed Rav Berg to review each letter at least three times and see what he could glean to help with his own service of God and humanity.

About the Author

Michael Berg is the co-director of The Kabbalah Centre and Kabbalah University, as well as an author, scholar and teacher. He is the editor and translator of the first-ever unabridged contemporary English translation of the 23 volume Zohar and commentary, the ancient Aramaic text that is at the very core of kabbalistic thought. Having been born into a kabbalistic tradition as the son of the Rav and Karen Berg, Michael steeped himself in the wisdom of the Zohar at a young age, beginning its translation when he was only 18 years old and completing it ten years later. Adept at combing through ancient materials and distilling complex information into elegant thought and language, Michael continues the tradition started by Rav Berg, of condensing and simplifying the profound wisdom of Kabbalah. As a best-selling author he has developed a worldwide following with more than eight books, such as Becoming Like God, Well of Life, The Secret, and national bestseller The Way. His recent projects include compiling, editing, and publishing Rav Ashlag s pillar works: The Wisdom of Truth, And You Shall Choose Life, On World Peace, The Thought of Creation, and The Light of Wisdom. Michael Berg also translated and edited Beloved of My Soul, Rav Brandwein s written correspondence to Rav Berg. This book presents rare teachings through which the mantle of leadership of the Centre was transferred. Michael currently lives in New York with his wife Monica and children, David, Miriam, Joshua, and Abigail, and lectures all around the world.
