What Does Kabbalah Say About the Soul – A Q&A Excerpt from the Introductory Lesson

Question: What does Kabbalah say about the soul?

Answer: The soul is a sense for us to feel, understand and act towards the Creator (the quality of bestowal and love) in a loving and bestowing way, in the exact same way He behaves towards me.

We don’t have a soul for the time being. We’ve been told you have a soul and that when you die you will go to “lala” land and revel in flowers and clouds, and so on.

The whole idea of the study is to develop a soul. That is why it is such an amazing wisdom.

Getting a bit deeper into it: Just like the Creator created us from scratch, we have to do the same action in this world: create a soul from scratch. That is the whole idea of the study.

From this point in the heart (i.e. the desire from spirituality), from this little scratch, we have to build a soul. It’s a nice question, we’ll get more into that topic the more we get into this course.

You Don’t Have to be a Kabbalist to Understand the Enormous Benefit that Comes from Studying Kabbalah

You Don’t Have to be a Kabbalist to Understand the Enormous Benefit that Comes from Studying Kabbalah

What Does Kabbalah Study?

The Kabbalah is a science that studies the system of creation, the way it was formed, the root of its essence and its structure. It examines how the Creator conducts this system and how creation should correct itself to rise to the degree of the Creator, which is in fact the purpose of creation. Kabbalah is a science that deals with drawing near to the Creator, whereas religion simply indicates to people what they should do with the protein bodies of our world. The wisdom of Kabbalah has no connection with any popular religious movements.

 

The Real Reason behind the Development of Hasidism

The Baal Shem Tov created the movement of Hasidism to help the Jewish orthodox person integrate a certain amount of spiritual intention in the performance of the physical Mitzvot (commandments). However, the Baal Shem Tov was first and foremost a Kabbalist of the highest degree. He therefore established Hasidism as a popular movement in order to select out of the masses the few people who had the desire and the ability to become Kabbalists. This way he managed to find disciples who later became the first Admorim (Jewish masters and teachers), who went on to establish their own trends in Hasidism and beyond. The task of the movement was to select the individuals who wanted to attain the Creator from the collective and render certain support to the general public.
