This is a great introduction to authentic Kabbalah and is an expanded version of Kabbalah Revealed, also by Rav Laitman. Starting with the History of Kabbalah and highlights of some of the greatest teachers of Kabbalah, this book continues with an easy-to-understand explanation of the wisdom of Kabbalah and an interesting discussion about reality, and concludes with a section called Crisis and Correction. At the end of the book is a section on Frequently Asked Questions about Kabbalah which is also worth exploring.
The writing is clear, conversational, and flows easily. Interspersed throughout the book are numerous quotes from renowned Kabbalists that further expound on the topic at hand. I found this a thoroughly enjoyable read and would recommend it to anyone exploring authentic Kabbalah.

Kabbalah for Beginners is a powerful little book based on the lectures of Dr. Michael Laitman.
It speaks of spiritual perspectives and roots of our behavior and nature's laws.
It took me thru all the stages needed to answer the most basic questions of why - why am I here - why now - like this? I found The Dark Before the Dawn (part 4 ch. 6) most fitting for our time. I bookmarked the section to read and read again as events unfold daily. It's that useful for me. The subjects covered in appendix 1 are so full of inspiration it could be a book in itself. The wisdom in Kabbalah for Beginners has presented all the information, background and solutions to enlighten and uplift the mind and spirit for anyone who reads it. I think this is an important book for anyone who is looking for a sound basis in Kabbalah.

Kabbalah for Beginners |

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.
