I'm Ethiopian, and in the Amharic language "Kebela" means "taking" or "receiving"!

[@mezillenz8220]

" it's important to meet people,at the level they're at"- love that, brilliant stuff🙏💫💫💫

[@myJLI]

So true indeed!

[@Makdaddy357]

I am not a Jew, but have been in love with Kabbalah for 20 yrs now and the love is only increasing...

[@sandorbakki6241]

Rabbi Wolf published a book titled Practical Kabbalah which I’ve been studying for awhile. Excellent introduction to begin to how practicing it can elevate one’s spiritual consciousness.

[@jeffreyrwilliams9345]

Thank you, as a Roman Catholic my study of Kabbalah has given me tremendous clarity and improved my relationship with HaShem

[@myJLI]

That's inspiring! Thank you for sharing!

[@tallmikbcroft6937]

It is. Amen. שלם

[@cdl6953]

Me too. It added to my understanding. The wisdom of kabbalah is amazing. It’s practical too. It is compatible to Roman Catholic faith and as a matter of fact, it supports/compliments it. It does not conflict it.

[@abdullahalrai]

How astonishing are the similarities between Hebrew terms and Classical Arabic words: Kabbalah - Qabala (receiving or reciprocate something) Peshat - Baseet (Simplified, levelled out all unevenness) Durush - Durus - (deeper study or knowledge) Zohar - Zhahara (prevailing over all, outreached, surpassed)

[@myJLI]

Interesting indeed, thanks for sharing!

[@yehudahhachassid6191]

Rabbi Laibl wolf is illuminating and it's a joy to listen to his talk on the subject of KABBALAH- Thank you !

I love how the Rabbi says “you have to meet people where there at”. I’m originally from Ethiopia, and relate on my people being disconnected to their roots. Great dialogue.

[@shevetlevi2821]

Rabbi Wolf, thank you for this. Question: Why were the 4 levels of Torah made so increasingly esoteric and arcane. Why didn't G-d give us all the capacity to understand this?

[@user-dy8tn3mo7c]

Very good explained, thanks Rabbi Laibl Wolf! ❤👏👍😎🙏

[@monalisasilva8358]

Muito obrigada.

Okay, what does "Transcript has moved to Description" mean?... oh, never mind; I found it (in the 'Description'), I just had to turn off my ad-blocker to use the "Show transcript"-button.

Shalom , I am also a Polish Jew , and Kabalah has been very close to me since was a teenager

[@myJLI]

That's amazing!

[@Nannerchan]

My father’s family did not believe that ordinary people should study Kabbalah. They were Lithuanian Jews. Is there a reason why some Jews do not study? Also, can you explain why some non-Jews do study it.?

[@debbierosenzweig8801]

The Kabbalah is studied by learned, righteous people. Mysticism and spiritual concepts in the Kabbalah are not considered appropriate for the layman to study. Only those on an elevated religious and intellectual level may study Kabbalah in the orthodox Jewish world.

[@danieleprince1200]

It is time now as we enter the messianic hour for people to understand the purpose of Hashem creation

[@davidkaplan8393]

I can't give you a thorough explanation on why some Jewish sects de-emphasize Kabbalah. To Chabad Chassidus, Yiddishkeit is incomplete without it. Many non - Jews have connected with their mission as "Noahides" - followers of the seven Noahide laws. One Chabad Rabbi answered when I asked a similar question that these individuals are drawn to it since they recognize truth.

[@janishart5128]

I've learned from the Orthodox Rabbis, that a person should definitely NOT study Kabbalah, before they've learned the Tanach thoroughly. In other words, you need to learn the basics, before going on to more complicated scriptures.

[@margybernard]

Good talk, this Rabbi is definitely one of the better ones. Everyone can learn something from just this small video, everything is there in plain commonsense language (apart from the Hebrew terms ha ha!)

[@myJLI]

Thanks! Which Hebrew terms did you have trouble with, we can translate.

[@robsellars9338]

@@myJLI I was just joking that there will always be Hebrew terms used to describe anything in Hebrew! You explained them all but they will always be there to learn. Thanks for your concern!

Kabbalah is full of mysticism It is hard to learn this subject Harry Potter books are much easier than Kabbalah ,so focus on easy things then go to the harder ones

It's filled with so much wisdom! Worth the effort!
