Greetings to all instructors and my fellow students. This is going to be rather a long mail so I crave your indulgence. Slowly but steadily, I have reached week 4 in my Kabbalah course. Have I achieved a point in my heart? Maybe a shadow of a fraction of one? I don’t know. I have still not managed to attend a live session due to my circumstances. Maybe one of these days I will attend and ask my questions directly.
Coming to the point.
The other day I was watching Gilad’s video on the Tree of Life. I understand that from what we have been instructed so far that intellectual comprehension is not important when studying Kabbalah but we are so used to intellectually comprehend anything that this bottomless pit (as referred to by either Gilad or Asaf) is not easily acceptable. Maybe in time we or rather I will get over it by raising my yearning for the wisdom. I know I have to work on my intentions, I guess. That will be a work in progress till this body drops.
In the video, the Hebrew alphabets in The Name of God Havayah or something close, is equated with the 5 worlds and the 5 phases of life and came up with number 125 steps of our ascent/descent. I could not wrap my head around this. And that’s another thing. Hebrew terms and alphabets are used sometimes without a proper explanation. I am not from a Jewish background and I am sure that there are a dozens of my fellow students who are in a similar situation. Would you consider doing a rudimentary course in Hebrew for KabU students or could you indicate where we can access such a course. I think that would tremendously help. You think it will? For my part I have bought a primer “Learn to write Hebrew” and I am for the nonce plodding through it. But if you can introduce such a course, that would be of tremendous help?
Also, it would help if we had an environment where students can gather and connect with each other? I suspect you do have such gatherings. I am a resident of Toronto. Do you have get-togethers in our city? Please let me know and I would love to participate.
I think that’s all for the nonce. My compliments to Gilad and Asaf for their patience and their depths of knowledge.
Thank you very much.
Warmly,
Ranga
I am always insofar how to address Tony. Can I address him as Rav Tony. It’s always a great pleasure to listen to his lessons. He makes the most complex subjects so easy to understand . I look forward to delve deeper into the wisdom of the Kabbalah.
i also like to hear Gilad and Asaf. So far I have only Liston the recorded version. I hope to join live before too long. Thank you.

My dear fellow students. Science especially quantum physics is validating what the Kabbalists have been saying for thousands of years.-we are all entangled to use the term used in quantum physics. In other words we are all connected. For the nonce we don’t have a direct experience of it but I am sure that as we relentlessly progress in the knowledge of Kabbalah we will get there one day. I wish all my fellow students including myself will realize this connection or we shall attain this connection in the not too distant future.

I can only say that from the position of “I don’t even know that I don’t know” the Wisdom of Kabbalah I have studied so far has led me to the position of “ Now I at least know that I don’t know”
this wisdom has helped me deal with the death of a loved one with equanimity. They say the proof of the pudding is in eating it. I am beginning to taste the sweetness of this wisdom. Thank you.
