| From
the moment he was born, Rabbi Yehuda Berg was immersed
into the study of Kabbalah. Having been born the son of
Kabbalist Rav Berg, Rabbi Yehuda Berg is heir to the
millenia-old tradition of Kabbalistic masters which his
father had inherited from his teachers. From the earliest
age, it was apparent that young Yehuda had inherited his
father’s gift and was poised to continue the great
legacy. However, preparation would require a lengthy and extensive formal education.
After being born and
raised in Israel, Yehuda went to the United States where
he attended and graduated from the world-respected Yeshiva
Rabbinical Seminary of America in New York. Afterward,
he took up study at the prestigious Yeshiva Shar Ha Torah,
in New York, followed shortly thereafter by his ordination
as rabbi from Yeshiva Knesset Israel in the Holy City,
Jerusalem. Over the past decade, Rabbi Berg has
demonstrated his talents prodigiously. He is
internationally-renowned as a leading authority of
Kabbalah, the Torah and Talmud. He is the editor of the
first Kabbalistic Daily and Shabbat Prayer books, a huge
task which required extensive research. He is also in the
process of completing the first-ever Chumash, or Pentatuch
(Five Books of Moses) with Kabbalistic commentary. As
associate director for communications of The
Kabbalah Centres, Rabbi Berg plays an instrumental
role in making the wisdom and tools of Kabbalah available
and accessible to millions of people worldwide. In this
capacity, he has helped reach people of many nationalities
and faiths, all of whom hunger for the spiritual truths
Kabbalah offers.
As spiritual director of
The Kabbalah Children’s Academy, Rabbi Berg helps guide
the curriculum and teaching methods taught by the school.
He also acts as a spiritual advisor to the many rabbis and
teachers at The
Kabbalah Centre. His intense desire to make the
immense wisdom and spiritual tools of Kabbalah accessible
to all people has inspired him to relentlessly pursue the
development of innovative, one-of-a-kind programs for
students, including at-home study programs, spiritual
retreats, and community experiences - which are designed
to heighten spiritual awareness and facilitate growth. In
addition, Rabbi Yehuda Berg is an accomplished author. His
most recent published book, The Power of Kabbalah, an
international best-seller, provides people with a powerful
introduction to Kabbalah to start them on a spiritual path
toward transformation. He has received praise for The
Power
of Kabbalah, including celebrities Madonna and
Guy Ritchie. Yehuda is currently working on his new book, The
72 Names of God - a Kabbalistic tool of immense importance
for meditation, healing and spiritual growth. He also
directs the publishing of books by other Kabbalistic
authors, audio and videotapes created by the Centre. In
short, he manages, inspires, instructs and solidifies the
knowledge of Kabbalah among students.
Rabbi Yehuda Berg lives
in Los Angeles with his wife, Michal, and his two sons,
spending considerable time as well at The Kabbalah Centre
in New York.
