At first glance, The Power of Kabbalah seems like an overly simplistic spiritual instruction manual. The language and anecdotes are rabbi-style cozy and the format is exceptionally approachable: one-to-two-page essays. But read a few pages and you're hooked into an experience that immediately promises enlightenment (and eventually delivers it). Although the Kabbalah has its roots in Jewish mysticism, this non-dogmatic manual is applicable to all spiritual seekers. Like Wayne Dyer's bestselling book The Power of Intention, this is actually a book about manifesting the life you want through understanding the laws of spiritual energy and attraction. "To fulfill its giving nature, the infinite force of Energy created a receiver—-in Kabbalah it's called a Vessel," author Yehuda Berg explains. You guessed it, all of us earth souls represent the Vessel, and our spiritual task is to stop resisting the giving nature of Energy and let our Vessels fill up and runneth over.... This is an obvious choice for students of Jewish mysticism, but it's an equally appropriate book for anyone looking for ancient traditions to support contemporary spiritual discussions about the laws of attraction. --Gail Hudson

From the Inside Flap
"No hocus-pocus here. Nothing to do with religious dogma, the ideas in this book are earth-shattering and yet so simple." - Madonna

Customer Reviews

Like mining for gold. You have to search alot of worthless stuff to find the nuggests of gold.
Starts as very good wisdom and then turns into alot of dribble. The book has parts of outstanding clarity and consciousness. The book has some parts which will introduce new ways of thinking to you. But also, the book has a lot of nonsense. Sometimes the author is drawing unfounded unreasonable conclusions.
Chapters are broken down into a simplifier format to the pages easy for reading. Parts I and III of the book should be mandatory reading for anybody. Parts II and IV of the book lose all sense of cohesion and rationality. Parts V and VI of the book become long winded, redundant baloney.
I think that the author probably started with some ideas of another older, wiser person which were really good. Then he tried to take their wisdom a step further with his own ideas but the reasoning fell apart.
The philosophy is founded predominantly on this idea of passive resistance or non reaction leading to a life of greater satifaction. It's a philosophy of just accepting whatever life throws at you. It's rididculous. And, the book definately has a very egotistic, "i know better than everyone else" type tone.
You have to sort out the pieces of golden wisdom from the ramble of nonsense but definately worth reading once.

Power of Kabbalah is Powerful
I've already read this book 4 times. I recommend this to almost everyone. To gain a grasp of the original ancient wisdom and achieve a sense of spirituality this is a must read.

I recommend this as a first read for those interested in Kabbalah. Most of Yehuda Berg's books are easy to understand and very empowering.

Easy read
I thought "The Power of The Kabbalah" was an easy interesting read. I would recommend it but prefer a more historical view with less interpretation. Although, it is a good introduction for those who are curious. One can take what they want from the book and perhaps understand it is a bit "Americanized". I am suspicious by nature, which is why I did not give it the full 5 stars. Cynicism and suspicion conflict will the Kabbalah ways, so perhaps I should keep reading.
