Inspired by the worldwide gathering of friends at the recent Bnei Baruch ARI Online retreat that took place in St. Louis, Missouri, Seth Breitman prepared this new song “One Man” together with two friends, Haim Cotton (NY) and Dima Graziani (Toronto) to celebrate the unity and bonding beyond all barriers that one achieves through studying Kabbalah.
“When I heard that 150 of us from around the world were going to meet for a weekend in the States, I needed to compose a song. Any gathering of friends stirs a feeling of unity. What made our retreat unique was that the thought that each of us carried in our lessons, at the meals, and at the bonfire, was the thought that our friends should be completely fulfilled. When each one relates to the others as an integral part of one unified organism, each has what he needs and has no worry, for he is supported by those that surround him.” –Seth

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.”
