n this first class on the Tomer Devorah, Rabbi Israel Yakobov opens one of Kabbalah’s most powerful books β a text long associated with healing from serious illness. He breaks down the ten divine powers (the Sefirot), how they shaped both the spiritual and physical worlds, and why our own bodies were built to mirror that same structure.
You’ll learn why the Torah calls us to “emulate our Master,” what it really means to become a “chariot” (merkava) for God’s light, and why β according to this teaching β character traits do more damage or bring more blessing than the commandments themselves.
Whether you’re new to Kabbalah or have studied it for years, this class lays the foundation for everything that follows in the Tomer Devorah series.
