YochanonParticipantThank you for this first video and summary. I have questions but am going to think more on them before I ask too many. One being what are your thoughts about using and praying from books like the Siddur. From what I understand they were utilized by Kabbalists including the Ari. If it is good, could you please give some pointers on how to utilize said books to their fullest potential.
I have often felt anxiety and depressing, and I’ve found that careful and meaningful prayer has helped me grow so much. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you so much.

YochanonParticipantI am so tired. I have dealt with depression and other issues since I was a kid. I have felt that I have no real control over my life. I have had the blessing of being introduced to Kabbalah at a young age, but am only now truly beginning to get a real glimpse on how it can help me do what I was meant to do, To receive the Light of Hashem, and then give it back, to HIM, to those around me.
I anticipate that this course will help with that goal.
Thank you for asking this question and giving me an opportunity to think on it.
YochanonParticipantShalom! I am wanting to deepen my love for and understanding of The Creator, Hashem. I have read many books, but feel this here is a gateway to an experiential path to learn not just about Kabbalah, but how to live it.
Willing to come as I am, as if I know nothing. Just want to give back to God what little I can in return for all He does for me.
Getting to know you all through the course will be great!
Shalom!
