Podcasts about Kabbalah

In a world that often feels divided—across families, communities, and workplaces—this week's episode explores a deeper understanding of togetherness. While unity is often associated with unconditional acceptance, the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches that true unity also requires responsibility and alignment. Healthy teams, relationships, and communities are built not only through love and openness, but also through clear boundaries that protect the culture and shared vision.This conversation explores why difficult conversations and courageous boundaries are sometimes necessary for real growth. Avoiding them may feel easier in the moment, but it can ultimately create greater challenges for everyone involved. By approaching these moments with intention, certainty, and a desire for the highest good, we can transform uncomfortable decisions into opportunities for greater clarity, stronger relationships, and space for the right people and opportunities to enter our lives. Join us for the next episode of Weekly Energy Boost with @ElishevaBalas and @EitanYardeni.  Watch LIVE Sundays at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET on The Kabbalah Centre YouTube or catch the latest episode wherever you listen to podcasts.Find out more about our work, dig into our archives, and send us a message at: www.weeklyenergyboost.com.You can also help make Weekly Energy Boost possible by making a tax-deductible contribution at www.weeklyenergyboost.com/donate-today.

A blood moon peaked at 3:33 AM on the first night of Purim — while the Israel Iran war tensions are at a breaking point. This is not a coincidence. And this is NOT astrology. The March 3rd lunar eclipse landed on one of the most historically loaded dates on God's calendar — Purim — the Jewish feast commemorating Israel's miraculous deliverance from ancient Persia (modern-day Iran). At the exact same moment, 333 days remained in the year. The last time a blood moon appeared over Jerusalem. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ in 33 A.D. I'm a former astrologer. I know exactly how this deception works from the inside — and I'm breaking down what this blood moon eclipse actually means through a biblical lens, not a New Age one.   In this episode: ✦ Why the red moon on Purim is impossible to ignore ✦ What 3:33 AM means and why the occult is obsessed with it ✦ Kabbalah, numerology, and why global elites move around symbolic dates ✦ The documented pattern of blood moons and Israel's history ✦ What Joel 2, Matthew 24, Luke 21 & Revelation 6 say about the last days ✦ End times signs — how to tell the difference between biblical discernment and New Age deception ✦ The mark of the beast, the rapture, and the return of Jesus Christ ✦ Why the apocalypse is not the end — it's a transition ✦ Where YOU stand with God right now This is not conspiracy theory.   The heavens were placed for signs and seasons (Genesis 1:14) — "moedim" in Hebrew — appointed times on God's calendar. The end of the world as we know it isn't random. Biblical prophecy and end times prophecy have been pointing to exactly this convergence: wars, celestial signs, Israel surrounded by enemies, and a world moving toward one final authority. The question is not "What does the eclipse mean?" The question is "Where do you stand with God?" The mercy window is still open. Jesus Christ paid the debt. Anyone who repents and trusts in Him is forgiven and restored. That's the only thing that matters when the signs of the end times are this loud. .. Ways to Support the Show:

Yaeli sat down with Tal Roni and they spoke honestly about the journey back to God.The questions, the searching, the moments where something inside you starts waking up again.Tal shares her story of returning to a deeper connection with Hashem and what that process looked like for her.Yaeli shares her own path how learning Kabbalah changed everything for her. It gave her the why behind the what. The depth behind the traditions. The meaning behind the actions.When you understand the why, everything lands differently.This episode is about remembering who you are, reconnecting to your roots, and realizing that sometimes the greatest journey is simply finding your way back home.

Why did Moses smash the tablets and why were the broken pieces placed in the Holy of Holies alongside the whole ones? In this heart-open class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores one of the most powerful and surprising teachings in Torah: that brokenness is not the opposite of holiness, it can be its doorway. Drawing on the story of the Golden Calf, the teachings of the Talmud, Midrash, and the Lubavitcher Rebbe, this class reveals how Judaism embraces both the “whole tablets” and the “broken tablets” of our lives. Together we explore how pain, setbacks, doubt, and struggle can become catalysts for deeper connection, compassion, and spiritual growth. The message is both radical and comforting: the fragments of our lives may contain the deepest light.Key TakeawaysHoliness is not limited to moments of perfection; it can emerge from our struggles and broken experiences.The broken tablets in the Ark teach that failure and fracture still belong in the sacred space of our lives.Sometimes our deepest connection to G-d happens not when we feel strong, but when we feel vulnerable and searching.Brokenness can soften our hearts and deepen our compassion for others.The Torah teaches that new wisdom and deeper growth often emerge after moments of spiritual collapse.Our lives contain both “whole tablets” and “broken tablets” and both are part of the sacred journey.#Judaism #Kabbalah #Jewish #BrokenTablets #Moses #GoldenCalf #JewishWisdom #spiritualgrowth #JewishInspiration #FaithInStruggle #TorahInsights #chassidus #personalgrowth #healing #resilience #MeaningInSuffering #RabbiBernath #JewishNDG #TorahClass Available now:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Experiment-What-Would-Your/dp/1069217638Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR2QNJL6Audiobook: https://bit.ly/4tPFZhVSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

Think you know Demi Moore? Think again. My friend, Mackenzie, and I peel back the tabloid myths to trace a far more gripping arc: a child who found safety in hospital routines because home was chaos, a teenager forced to protect herself when the adults failed, and an artist who spent years equating value with a number on the scale while breaking box‑office ceilings and cultural taboos. Guided by Demi's memoir Inside Out, we connect the dots between early trauma, addiction, codependence, and the relentless body scrutiny of Hollywood—and how those patterns transform when you finally choose yourself.If this moved you, tap follow, share with a friend who loves smart memoir deep dives, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find the show.

As The Missiles Fall

This is another one of those chapters in the Bible that is not necessarily inspirational or having meaning for us as disciples of Messiah Jesus as we read it.  It is interesting for sure, but it seems only God's details to Moses for how to conduct the induction of (I'm using the Hebrew pronunciation of the names) Ah-aron as high priest and his sons, Naydav, Aveeoo, Elahzar and Ithamar as priests.  But, then we put this text in its historical context and everything changes.  It is clear this is about God's intention to continue to separate His chosen people, the Hebrews, from Egypt.  The had assimilated into the Egyptian culture and now the Lord was doing all things necessary to get Egypt out of Israel.  And it is not as easy for Him as taking Israel out of Egypt.  I did a podcast on showing that indeed the Bible implies that Israel had indeed integrated into the culture of Israel and perhaps assimlated.  Check it out ... Exodus 4 part 2 - Exod. 2:11-25 - https://lightofmenorah.podbean.com/e/the-gospel-according-to-moses-lesson-4-part-2-exod-211-25/ Now we ask the question how did those Hebrews who just came out of Egypt (it had only been no more than 3 months since they left Egypt) possibly understand this ceremony and the sacrifices.  When we put this text back to the year 1446 B.C. we understand that to know the symbolism of this induction of Ah-aron as high priest and his sons, Naydav, Aveeoo, Elahzar and Ithamar as priests we need to understand Egypt, the Egyptian gods, the Egyptian pagan religion, and the Egyptian culture.   One scholar that the Lord provided me was Dr. John Currid.  He is a reputable and proven archaeologist, Egyptologist, and proven theologian.  I highly recommend two of his books.  Check out the pictures below.  Both are available for reduced price at www.Thriftbooks.com.  Get them.  You won't be sorry.  To know the Torah you need to know Egypt.  Amazing stuff. In this lesson we talked about a number of awesome topics.  Here's more on those topics. * OUR BODY LIKE A TENT Rabbis plus Greek scholars of Paul's day teach that the human body is like the Mishkan (Tabernacle) or a tent, symbolizing a portable dwelling for God's presence. This concept primarily found in 2 Corinthians 5:1 and the Wisdom of Solomon 9:15. This concept emphasizes the mortality of the physical body and the anticipation of an eternal, heavenly, and "not made with hands" body to replace it. along with Greek philosophers plus later in mystical Jewish tradition (Kabbalah) and midrash, sees the body as a sacred space housing divine sparks.    [1] https://www.berotbatayin.org/why-do-we-need-to-know-all-these-details-of-the-mishkan-tabernacle/ [2] https://medium.com/@coulter.daniel/bible-study-exodus-26-269ea6d7b466 [3] https://biblehub.com/study/psalms/15-1.htm * APIS BULL - sacred diety of ancient Egypt - https://ancientegyptonline.co.uk/bullcult/ * AMUN RE  https://ancientegyptonline.co.uk/amun/ * LEAVENED BREAD DISCOVERED IN EGYPT - https://youtu.be/LlipgR0sWqY?si=9sJuGuX9WTytqc0C * LIVERS AND DIVINATION https://www.thetorah.com/article/the-practice-of-divination-in-the-ancient-near-east Rev.

In this episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan Farner unpacks one of the most mysterious visions in scripture: Jacob's Ladder (Genesis 28).Far from a story about life after death, Jacob's Ladder is revealed as a living blueprint for spiritual embodiment — the pattern of descending into matter and reascending into divine awareness while still in the flesh.Drawing connections across ancient traditions, Kabbalah, alchemy, astrology, Gnostic cosmology, Egyptian initiation, and Christian mysticism, Meghan explores:The seven (and eighth) rungs of spiritual ascentThe process of overcoming the natural manShame, pride, attachment, fear, and spiritual authorityEmotional regulation and embodied wisdomPersonal sovereignty vs. outsourcing authorityIntegration of heaven and earth within the selfMary Magdalene's ascent vision as a parallel ladderWhat it means to encounter Christ withinThis episode reframes Jacob's declaration — “This is the gate of heaven” — as an inward revelation: the temple is you.If you are studying the Old Testament, exploring esoteric Christianity, or walking the path of spiritual initiation, this episode offers a grounded yet expansive lens on the ladder that exists within your own anatomy, psychology, and soul.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction & app announcements 04:22 Genesis 28: Jacob's vision 07:13 The ladder across ancient traditions 09:15 The law of correspondence (“as above, so below”) 10:58 Descension into matter & reascension 12:42 The cyclical, chiastic nature of the ladderThe Seven Rungs18:27 Rung 1 – From shame to purification 22:47 Rung 2 – From intellectual pride to embodied wisdom 25:55 Rung 3 – Attachment to emotional regulation 30:02 Rung 4 – Fear to courage (center of the chiasm) 34:24 Rung 5 – Aggression to clarity & truth 37:57 Rung 6 – External authority to spiritual sovereignty 39:59 Rung 7 – Integration & joy 41:51 Rung 8 – Encountering Christ44:58 Mary Magdalene's ascent vision 55:41 “The house of God is within you” 57:19 Invitation into spiritual educationResources: The Ascent Vision of Mary Magdalene Questions about Return to the Garden?

There are those who have the practice to rise for Barechu, though this is not the generally accepted custom among Sepharadim. An exception is the recitation of Barechu on Friday night, when many Sepharadim are accustomed to standing, following the teachings of Kabbalah. Some have the custom to momentarily lift themselves off their seats when responding "Baruch Hashem Ha'meborach Le'olam Va'ed" to the Hazzan's declaration of Barechu. The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) writes in his Od Yosef Hai that this was the common practice in Baghdad. He adds, however, that there seems to be no basis for such a practice in the Halachic sources. Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Israel, 1924-1998) opposed this custom, and ruled that one should simply remain seated without moving when responding to Barechu, without moving at all. He explained that it is improper to bow on occasions when there is no Halachic requirement to do so, as this undermines the significance of this gesture. Therefore, as there is no Halachic basis for bowing when responding to Barechu, this should not be done. Summary: Some have the custom to slightly lift their bodies off their seats when responding to Barechu, but some Poskim discourage this practice.

En este episodio, exploraremos la poderosa energía cósmica que nos rodea durante la apertura de Purim. Hablaremos sobre la importancia de vivir en el presente y cómo la sabiduría de Kabbalah nos ayuda a tomar decisiones que nos llenan de alegría. Aprenderemos cómo podemos incrementar nuestra felicidad, incluso en tiempos de desafío.      #AlegríaYcerteza #ConcienciaDePurim #Kabbalah #EnergíaPositiva #BienestarEspiritual #InfusiónEspiritual
