    Hi Zorica,

    I don’t know of any instructors going to Hungary. The English Department will be in Pennsylvania, U.S.

    Hi Marlaina,

    Until you’re in a ten and can access the Arvut platform, you should be able to watch here at 8pm EST: http://kab.tv/eng#/playlist

    Based on their spiritual attainment, Kabbalists tell those who follow them what will make their advancement toward attaining the spiritual reality the quickest and most convenient. That’s often not what is most pleasant to the corporeal ear since it’s correction. The student doesn’t have to take the advice. There are other paths and teachers which the student might find more agreeable.

    I’m not affiliated with money/memberships, but it’s interesting to know what memberships were like with Kabbalists throughout history. Almost as soon as you entered the study hall, you were approached – and asked to place on the table a jaw-dropping amount of money! I understand this is, as usual, opposite of how we think spiritual things should work. Even if after you left the lesson, the Kabbalist would throw your money out onto the street (which they sometimes did), the teacher had to charge, proportional to the student’s income, a sum commensurate with the value of a wisdom by which one can burst out of the dark bitter radish of this world to the wide wonder of the spiritual world – in a way that the Will to Receive feels it’s paying. Otherwise, the Will to Receive doesn’t allow me to advance spiritually, and I’ll never reach the spiritual world. Whereas to the extent the person pays, the Will to Receive itself demands one’s spiritual advancement rather than digging its heals in against it, even though spirituality is opposite its nature.  These are the conditions from Above. It’s not up to the teacher.
