Kabbalah for Beginners is a wonderful book to start learning about the fundamental concepts of Kabbalah. It starts with a brief history of Kabbalah. Reminding us that at one time people knew that only one force governed our world and we were one soul. We were more spiritual, each one helping the other for the betterment of the whole. It explains how we left the path of spirituality and evolved to the world we know today. Now, each of us work independent of the other; looking for a way to get ahead of everyone else. We no longer care about our neighbors. As long as we are taken care of, the world is a wonderful place, for a while. Once we reach this point, where we are looking for something to make sense of this world, we find Kabbalah. By simplifying the Kabbalistic terminology and breaking down the different phases of creation, Kabbalah for Beginners shows us how important it is to get back to spirituality, for everyone's benefit.

For anyone seeking meaning in their lives or anyone who feels that have yet to find a purpose to their existence I hope they are fortunate enough to find a book written by Michael Laitman. I have found that while they all speak of the same thing; each has something new to offer the reader. The first part of this book speaks about the origin and history of Kabbalah which may peak the interest of any history buff or anyone interested in understanding what Kabbalah says about the creation of mankind. As with any book (and this one is less than 200 pages) the historical perspective feels incomplete, but it provides enough information to lead the reader on their own quest for information.
I've found that few people know or have any working understanding of what Kabbalah is about and what they do know is not what Laitman or his organization, Bnei Baruch, teaches. The second part of this book is appropriately named "the gist." There is no mention of red strings and evil eyes as we've heard about in trendy magazines and on television. It does provide exactly what it suggests; a general description of what Kabbalah is all about. The rest of the book deals with "Reality" and "Correction" and also provides a section with common questions and answers. Any serious student of Kabbalah will tell you that further reading and study materials are necessary, but this is a good place to start.

It'd a fair guess that 99% of humanity has no idea what kabbalah is. Reliable books on the subject aimed at the general public just started appearing as late as 1995. This book: "Kabbalah for Beginners", was written by Michael Laitman - one of the foremost kabbalists living today. In it's short 64 pages it explains kabbalah correctly, setting the right course for future study. There is also information on how to study and where to get instruction. If you've never heard of Kabbalah or are wondering what it's all about I highly recommend this book.

You've heard about it on TV, maybe you saw some chatter about it on websites and blogs,
but you never took the time to investigate. Here you will find a good, understandable
explanation of what all the chatter is about.
Kabbalah for Beginners will help you sort through your confusion. This book will help you down the path to understanding why we all act the way we do. You will find in this book the current essential
principals of the wisdom of Kabbalah and a description of how these principals work.
Kabbalah for Beginners will help you to understand the reasons for suffering and pleasure. Most people would not even consider taking a trip to the unknown without an experienced tour guide. Consider this book just that guide. It will help those who really would like to take charge of their lives, taking you on a trip to improving your life. It will guide you through making your life better , more exciting and the wonderful journey it was meant to be.
The book will cover the history of Kabbalah as experienced in this physical world. It will explore the origin and structure of reality; also will examine your inner realty. A great little book to clear up any confusion or misconceptions you might have previously about this wonderful wisdom of Kabbalah.
