Original Lurianic/Ashlagian Kabbalah

Hi there,

I tried to assemble some Kabbalah websites with the original Lurianic/Ashlagian Kabbalah content. Most of them in English, some in Hebrew only and a few in other languages including French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and Bulgarian.

I hope you'll find this helpful.

Much Love

Shmuel

  • Sanhedrin in its capacity as the leadership of the nation: "It is the obligation of Sanhedrin, in its capacity as the leadership of the nation, to unify the entire Israelite nation in a single bond of unity. Just as the skin unifies all parts of the flesh and covers them as one, so, too, must the leaders endeavor with all their might to unify all parts of the nation in a single union. Then, the Jewish nation will endure, they will blossom and flower to the highest degree, and no adversary or misfortune will befall them. But if the leaders do not attend to unifying them as one, then they will cause the plague to burst forth in the community and spread to themselves as well. They will lose their influence over the people, undermine the foundation and everything will dwindle... This actually occurred at that time. The absence of unity among us caused damage, destruction and exile, and it continues to prolong the exile... The leaders will ultimately be held responsible for this due to their failure to try to unify the whole Israelite nation as one, though it is the only cure for our malady, as Chazal say." - Harav Yisachar Shlomo Teichtal, pre-war posek, Eim Habanim Semeicha 338-9
  • Jerusalem Court for Issues of Bnei Noah This court has been set up to serve the needs of B'nei Noach worldwide. Judaism does not view itself as a universal religion, instead it sees itself as a national faith. This is understood within the context of the Jewish teaching that there are seventy nations or groups of people in the world. Each group of people must develop its own form of worship, unique to its own character. There is however a basic minimum common to all proper faiths, and this is the Noachide teachings. The Sanhedrin, through this court, is required to play a role in helping to clarify these most basic teachings, and each group of people in turn must set up its own religious court to expand, develop and adapt these laws to fit the needs of its community of believers.
  • Search Torah topics from respected, pre-approved Torah sites. 4Torah.com was created to specifically exclude irrelevant results one could find using a standard Google search.

Through the study and observance of these two guides to Torah (God's instructions) we can all live richly rewarding lives and avoid painful errors. Both our online and offline Bible and Mishneh Torah texts have been carefully prepared, and they are as accurate as found in the very finest printed editions. (Additional materials are also provided, but they are not the heart of this site.)
  • Chief Rabbi of Safed declares Kabbalah study by non-Jews is a positive development. "It is told about King David," the rabbi said, "that when he wanted to bring people closer to an authentic Torah life, he would teach them the 'secrets of Torah.' In general, to see people searching for spirituality is a positive and important development."
  • Indeed, the perfection of the world that leads to the Messianic Era requires the spreading of the seven commandments that G-d through the Torah provided for all the nations of the world. These are the Seven Noachide Laws, as enumerated in the Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 56a:
  • Our generation is the first since the dispersion of the Jewish People in which the Jew is able (and therefore obligated) to reach out to the non-Jew. The purpose is to create a movement among righteous gentiles worldwide, a forsaking of false religions and an acceptance of the seven Noachide commandments.
