Welcome to our audio talks

These talks are always based on a text taken from the writings of Rabbi Ashlag. Often from the Persuh HaSulam, , the commentary that Rabbi Yehudah Lev Ashlag wrote on the Zohar but also from his introductions or from the Sefer hama’amarim, the book of articles that his son, Rabbi Baruch Ashlag wrote on how to apply the principles of the Kabbalah in our inner work.
The talks are divided into three broad categories; 1) The Jewish Year: the festivals and other time-based events
2) the application of the learning in our daily lives
3) Concepts found in the study of the Kabbalah
PLEASE feel free to comment and give feedback. And most of all …enjoy! Yedidah Cohen
