Tel Aviv, Israel, November 8 2010 — The 2010 World Kabbalah Convention, held on November 9-11, will host 7,000 people of all the world’s faiths, from 54 countries, speaking 38 languages, coming to celebrate what Kabbalah is really about – the connection among all people.
“Kabbalah is popularly mistaken as religion or mysticism, but the people attending this convention have delved deeper into Kabbalah and understand that it is a method with the sole aim of developing connections of love among people. The need for love is a point all people share, no matter what their faith, nationality, age or gender. Those attracted to Kabbalah are those who found it increasingly difficult to fulfill this need in modern society, and the 2010 World Kabbalah Convention will serve to express this need, hosting people from all around the world who find it important to connect on a basis of love among all people,” says Avihu Sofer, Convention manager.
The 2010 World Kabbalah Convention will include lessons with Dr. Michael Laitman, founder and president of the world’s largest Kabbalah educational resource, the Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Education & Research Institute, www.kabbalah.info, author of over 30 books on Kabbalah, and the Internet’s most active spiritual blogger at www.laitman.com. The lessons will be followed by workshops, activities, meals and cultural events all aimed at bringing the deepest level of connection among people to life.
Moreover, for the first time at an annual World Kabbalah Convention, not only will the event’s lessons and activities be broadcast on the Internet and on television, but there will also be roaming cameras during recesses, allowing convention attendees to share their impressions with tens of thousands of worldwide viewers, making it a non-stop 3 day broadcast on www.kab.tv and on the Israeli television Channel 66.

For five years running, the International Kabbalah Congress hosted by www.kabbalah.info has established itself as one of the world’s most culturally diverse gatherings for spiritual growth.
A three-day celebration of human unity and deeply transforming personal experiences, the 2009 International Kabbalah Congress being held February 2-4 at the Tel Aviv Exhibition Grounds will host 6,000 guests from around the world. For a few brief days, the exhibition hall known as pavilion number 10 will become the warmest and most cordial place in the Middle East, and possibly even the entire world.
Despite the tension between Israel and its neighboring countries, flight costs, and a growing uncertainty about the global financial situation, record numbers will make the annual journey to attend the 2009 congress. Many of the 6,000 participants arriving from over 52 countries will be first-timers attracted by past attendee testimonials of their life-changing experiences, fulfilling workshops, uplifting meals, emotional cultural evenings featuring music and cultural performances from all parts of the world, and timely Kabbalah lessons by the world’s foremost Kabbalist, Rav Michael Laitman PhD, explaining the current crisis and the way out of it. One of the highlights of this year’s festivities is a series of six mini-congresses planned for children ranging in ages from 3 to 18, whose main source of communication until now has been the virtual activities for children taking place on www.kab.tv.
The 2009 International Kabbalah Congress is taking place at the Tel Aviv Exhibition Grounds in Israel hosting all the leading conferences and trade shows in the area. For a few brief days, the exhibition hall known as pavilion number 10 will become the warmest and most cordial place in the Middle East, and possibly even the entire world. Pavilion number 10 will be a place of magnificent diversity, a coming together of people of all ages and from all walks of life including celebrities, performing artists, engineers, road workers, dancers, administrators, students, musicians, stock-investors, teachers, performers, tradesmen, writers, DJs, plumbers, academicians, politicians, and designers, to mention a few.
The International Kabbalah Congress is more than just a three-day spectacle. As congress veteran Mike Kellogg of St. Louis explains, ‘A Kabbalah congress is distinguished by its special preparation and focus. The aim of the event is to discover and nurture the common point of human unity beyond all the differences that separate people, such as language, race, religion, educational achievements and occupational interests.’
The International Kabbalah Congress aims to create a special environment that will allow participants to realize the true potential that lies in the connection between people. The organizers of the congress believe that if people could only invert the self-centered approach that bases human relationships, which is opposed to the global nature of life in the 21st century (thus producing the current financial, environmental, and educational crises), our world could change its course and begin moving towards tranquility, peace and prosperity. In other words, this congress aims to give its participants a taste of the better world we all dream about and the practical tools for taking our first steps toward becoming one big human family.
For many participants, the International Kabbalah Congress will become a deep life-altering experience, where they will be encouraged to shatter the psychological barriers of previous identities and express themselves in new ways. The multi-faceted extravaganza will present the extremes of playfulness and vitality combined with serious inner focus and personal change, leaving a long-lasting impression on participants and the entire world. The result will be a never before seen mini-humanity rising from the shadows of today’s society.

This article presents more conflicting views on the popularization of Kabbalah: the view of the person who takes up the study of Kabbalah due to searching for answers to life’s most fundamental questions, and how Kabbalah fulfills this person’s questions; and the view of those who believe that Kabbalah requires a rigorous preparation through religion before it can be approached correctly.
Bnei Baruch’s view is that authentic Kabbalah has no connection to religion. Authentic Kabbalah is a science founded thousands of years before the world’s first religion appeared, designed for answering the question “What is the meaning of life?” Since it is designed to answer this question, it is also for anybody who sincerely asks this question, regardless of religion, race, nationality or lifestyle.

THE TELEGRAPH (October 26, 2007): This month, the popularization of Kabbalah has definitely seen a significant turn from the faddish to the authentic. Journalist Jill Moon contributed to this month’s press demystification of Kabbalah with her article “As far as traditional Kabbalists are concerned, string’s not the thing.”
Rather than scratching around the surface of conflicts in opinion between different brandings of “Kabbalah,” Moon took an investigative dive into Bnei Baruch’s teaching of Kabbalah, searching for how Bnei Baruch defines authentic Kabbalah, its purpose and its fundamental concepts.
“The goal of Kabbalah is to change the ‘will to receive’ into the ‘intention to bestow,’ or to become more like the ‘creator,’ that wants everyone to be fulfilled,” Moon quoted Bnei Baruch senior instructor Michael R. Kellogg, who teaches live, interactive Kabbalah introductory courses for free at the Education Center.
“The literal definition of Kabbalah is the revelation of ‘his Godliness’ to his creatures. In other words, it means that here, in this world as we exist, we are in complete and total concealment of any upper power of God … Kabbalah is the revelation of this thing called ‘God,’ meaning not revelation of belief, but of actually sensing the force called ‘God,’” Kellogg continued.
Moon went on to quote Kellogg discussing the work between intention and egoism in Kabbalah, and how Kabbalah explains our evolution in terms of evolving egoistic desires. Moreover, Kellogg fit in the very popularization of Kabbalah within this explanation, in that “all other desires have been fulfilled, and now the desire for spirituality is coming out. Egoism had to grow to a point that society is ready for Kabbalah.”
