Kabbalah scholar Michael Berg imparts wisdom both from decades of research and sources unique to his lineage. and gives a lesson for each portion. While the study of the Bible can be a lifelong pursuit, and there are many messages within the veiled text, Michael brings forward a fresh and relevant message about the purpose of life, and how to make it better. Gems of insight from Rav Berg, Rav Ashlag, Rav Isaac Luria (the Ari), and the Zohar are complemented by teachings from the ages. This perspective of studying --not as an intellectual pursuit or an academic discourse, but as a way to make life better-- comes to him through his lineage because that's the way his father, Rav Berg taught it. Kabbalah teaches that the Bible is not just a book of stories, or an historical archive of events. It's a coded message to help us understand the nature of this world, of life, and of the planet. Although these occurrences physically took place thousands of years ago, there are transcendent fundamentals hidden within each tale. Michael drills through the complex concepts to reveal essential spiritual truths. He addresses contemporary challenges by expanding our perception to see God in everything and everyone. The knowledge shared within these pages can awaken a desire for transformation, and lead readers to fulfill their true purpose in this world.
