RABBI
AVRAHAM BRANDWEIN: Kabbalah of Desire and Determination
Will and pleasure are the strongest internal forces within a person, powering
the individual and the world at large. Learn how to harness them towards fulfilling
your cosmic destiny. Rav Avraham Brandwein is one of the most respected authorities
on Kabbalah today. He may be the only surviving individual who learned Kabbalah
directly from Rav Yehuda Ashlag, his uncle, the author of the"Sulam",
one of the most profound Kabbalist of the 20th century. His father, Rav Yehuda
Tzvi was the primary student of Rav Yehuda Leib Ashlag, z"l. Rav Ashlag
unlocked Kabbalah's great mysteries with his masterpiece on the Zohar known
as the "Sulam" making the Zohar accessible to many more people.
The synthesis of the Ari and the Zohar's Teachings as well as his openness
to sharing and explaining the Kabbalah are some of the hallmarks of his views.
Rav Brandwein is sought out, far and wide, for his advice and guidance.
MELINDA (MINDY) RIBNER: The Power of the Feminine
Kabbalah predicts that it is the feminine principle that will lead the new
order to heal our so very troubled world. What is this power of the Feminine
forecasted in kabbalah? How will the Divine feminine on high and on this Earth
be restored to the proper and optimal balance with the masculine? This session
will include kabbalistic teaching and meditation along with discussion to
awaken the power of the feminine in men or woman alike. Melinda (Mindy) Ribner
L.C.S.W., a kabbalistic meditation teacher, a psycho-spiritual therapist and
healer for more than 20 years. She is the founder and director of BeitMiriam.†
