A Book That Reveals The Light and Makes You Want To Share It
By Writers Group Reviews
This book is an incredible book. If you were ever curious about Kabbalah this book is the answer. Michael Berg provides the reader with a clear interpretation of the meaning of Kabbalah, the meaning and purpose of life, and practical steps toward transformation. However, by no means should a reader look to Kabbalah as some kind of magic nor should a reader expect instant transformation. True transformation takes understanding, patience, time and a lot of work. Nevertheless, after reading this book one will realize that Kabbalah is a philosophy of truth and when studied will provide its students with a purpose in this world. There are a lot of Kabbalah books on the market today yet only a handful are worth the read. Michael Berg’s contribution fills a void. He avoids an academic approach and goes directly to the heart, beauty and meaning of Kabbalah without getting bogged down in ecsoteric meanings, terms and definitions. Buy this book, put it in your personal library and return to it on a periodic basis. Let this book be the springboard on your way to personal and in turn to global transformation. Please note that this reviewer is in no way affiliated with the Kabbalah Center. In fact, this reviewer has some misgivings about the center which thrives by selling fairly expensive courses and products. For those serious students, stick to their free information on their website Kabbalah.com and another website called Kabbalah-web.org.

The Way: Using the Wisdom of Kabbalah
By A Customer
I’ve studied Kabbalah for 6 years. I could not put this book down. It puts everything I studied together. The amazing thing is that it is an introductory book and is a good entry into the path of Kabbalah for anyone.

No wisdom, and not about Kabbalah.
By R. Kaiser
Things you should know: Philip Shraga Berg, a former insurance salesman, claimed to be a rabbi and started his own Kabbalah religion called “The Kabbalah Centre”. All of Berg’s books on Kabbalah are full of terrible translations, censored and edited texts, and horrible commentary. His “explanations” are rejected by all Jewish authorities, Orthodox and non-Orthodox, religious and academic.Finally, he isn’t even accepted as a rabbi or as a Kabbalist by any of the Jewish denominations, and his work is rejected as totally inaccurate by modern-day scholars. Now his sons are writing books using the same phony, non-Kabbalah ideas in order to make a profit. This really insults those who wish to truly learn about this topic. So instead of reading his nonsense, please check out books on this subject by real authorities and good writers:Read, for instance, “The Jewish Mystical Tradition”, by Ben Zion Bokser; “Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism”, by Gershom Scholem; “Zohar: Annotated & Explained” by Daniel Chanan Matt and Andrew HarveyI would also suggest “The Wisdom of The Zohar: An Anthology of Texts”, Ed. Isaiah Tishby, and translated from the Hebrew by David Goldstein.
