VaEra 5786 (2026) 01/12/2026

VaEra 5786 (2026) The coming six weeks are called ShOVaVYM - acrostics of the names of the Parashot (reading portions of these six weeks). They carry great virtue for personal correction and for the correction of the whole, and especially, this year, the year 5786, in which history is rapidly changing before our eyes. Redemption is the result of consciousness, the stages of consciousness of human freedom are revealed before us in the book of Exodus. Our society is going through historical upheavals of redefining personal freedom. Spirituality, values and holiness must be part of true freedom, the freedom to be happy without hatred, anger, guilt and blame. We learn to redefine ourselves, to break one concept after another in order to reach beyond the boundaries of the consciousness of the past. #messiah #redemption #namesofgod Meditation of Emunah - Connection: Meditation of ascending from below - Drawing Light from above: For a short reading about this Parashah: Join our course program: Join our Zoom Program: Support our efforts to provide you with more materials, donate to Live Kabbalah: /episode/index/show/livekabbalah-en/id/39696335

VaYeḥi 5786 (2026) 12/29/2025

VaYeḥi 5786 (2026) When do we feel that we are truly alive? What is true greatness? And what are the tools of success? Is it enough to have a vision, motivation and a hunger for success? Or is kindness and love also needed? How does this relate to the end of days? Are we experiencing the end of days already?

VaYeshev 5786 (2025) 12/10/2025

VaYeshev 5786 (2025) The two main stories in the parasha - the story of Yoseph and the story of Yehudah - form the basis for Joseph being the chariot of Yesod, the implementer of Tiferet - Jacob. Likewise, Yoseph is the source of the Messiah Ben Yoseph - the developmental stage of humanity preceding the era of enlightenment and spirituality - the Messiah Ben David. Are we witnessing a transition between the two periods? At such a dramatic time in human history? Will we soon see a wave of spiritual awakening coming from the upper worlds?

VaYishlaḥ 5786 (2025) 12/01/2025

VaYishlaḥ 5786 (2025) To earn the connection to the Light of Infinity, each of us must wage our own internal battle between Esau - the evil inclination, and Jacob - the good inclination. To win the battle, it takes a lot of cunning and resourcefulness, prayer, and good deeds. We can use Angels on the way for our goal. Here we learn how the desire for conquest and power can be used to bring about the coming of the Messiah and redemption.

VaYetse 5786 (2025) 11/24/2025

VaYetse 5786 (2025) To earn the connection to the Light-Infinity, each of us must wage our own internal battle between Esau - the evil inclination, and Jacob - the good inclination. When we overcome the darkness and turn it into light, the bitter into sweet, and the tribulation into victory. We can step out of the box, out of our mental dungeon, to flee up and above our limited logic, be inspired and create the miracle. The month of Kislev is a month of miracles, transcending the limits of reason - Jacob's ladder - The secrets of Prophetic Dreams.

Toldot 5786 (2025) 11/17/2025

Toldot 5786 (2025) To earn the connection to the Light of Infinity, each of us must wage our own internal battle between Esau - the evil inclination, and Jacob - the good inclination. Anyone who does not know 'who's really fighting who' does not understand the story of our reality, and of course, is not realistic. In order for there to be Free Will, Esau controls the centers of power, all of them. Human society is enslaved to the illusion of fake power, money, and might. How are the power systems really structured? How do Isaac's blessings affect contemporary world politics? Are we getting near 'The End of Days'? Are we witnessing the greatest revolution of all times?

Ḥayei Sarah 5786 (2025) 11/10/2025

Ḥayei Sarah 5786 (2025) The complete person lives a double life - he experiences the material life and succeeds in it, because at the same time he expands his consciousness and enlarges it to the rich world beyond. Beyond the senses, beyond material culture, beyond limited human logic. Only when we expand the range of our personal experiences in every area of life, can we experience true satiety, happiness, success and fulfillment that are authentic and lasting.

VaYera 5786 (2025) 11/03/2025

VaYera 5786 (2025) When we connect to success, lust and enthusiasm it can burn and cause a fall, despair and depression. This is what happens when the enthusiasm of youth turns into bitterness, despair and apathy. There is a cure for this, the secret of the Three Columns - The Binding of Isaac. The grace that can correct selfishness and judgments and preserve the joy of youth. This is the secret of the process of the development of the human race, here lies the secret of the days of the Messiah and the understanding of the intense historical process that humanity is experiencing today.

Abraham's journey is still in full swing. The struggle between light and darkness, between hope and doom, still continues. Yet, Abraham is no longer alone on the path, a large part of humanity has already joined the journey, the other part is still fighting it.
