Modonna & Kabbalah
keep speaking the truth the way you are doing and don't listen to negative people judging you for speaking the truth. I enjoy your teachings and will continue listen to you. I am a Christian but i need Torah teaching it's not taught in the churches.

Thank you so much!

Great Shiur!
Thanks Rabbi, this is truly inspiring and thought provoking. You've been an instrumental part in my learning and I really appreciate your Torahs.

Best Regards,

Kabbalah and Madonna
I truly believe that we should all focus on our own "tikuns" and stop pointing fingers at others who may do things a bit different. Ins't G-d's compassionate Light the thing that we are trying to spread throughout the world? Does it really matter how much one charges for classes or books etc. like they do if it is getting the point across to the masses. Look how long it has taken for the rest of the world to wake up to the spiritual wisdom of Kabbalah and finally be able see the truth! "Baruach Hashem!" for what she and the 39 Centre's all over the world have accomplished, like having over five million people who are now studying Kabbalah and changing their lives for the better. Please try being less spiritually childish and overly judgmental. We all need to become more loving, compassionate, Holy and G-dly as we were commanded to do!
Blessings and Light to all!

Judging and trashing other people from a Rabbi?!?!
This is addressed DIRECTLY to Mendel Kaplan...
I'm sorry. I'm not sure how to correct or admonish as the Torah instructs, but I cannot and will not stand by without saying something about your conduct in this class! I'm just SHOCKED AND APPALLED that a Rabbi that teaches in the same lesson that making fun or embarrassing someone is the same as MURDERING them would then turn around and make fun of Madonna?!?! WHY? To get laughs? You say you don't even know her or would recognize her but you can somehow SWEAR on your BIBLE that she's not a Kabbalist? What a horrible and slanderous thing for anyone to say! Especially someone that is supposed to be learned in Kabballah which teaches us NEVER to judge someone else's spirituality and walk with G-d! This isn't the first class I've heard you do it in either and I'm not sure I'm going to continue listening to ANY more of your teachings unless you make some kind of PUBLIC apology for your actions since you slandered someone in PUBLIC.

Enlightened
I felt a draw to Kabbalah but always hit a dead end wall -- but now since I heard Rabbi Kaplan am now of more understanding of what
Kabbalah is and I am truly enlightened and have a better direction and spirtual insight. Thank you.

Kabbalah and Madonna
This is one of the best lectures that I have heard on Kabbalah. True and accurate, presented in a marvelous manner. Thank you Rabbi Mendel Kaplan.
Just a note. I have similar experiences, and the key to knowing what to do in those circumstances is always based on the knowledge of the spiritual, and what is needed in that particular case. Amazingly, something always comes to mind that has been studied from the Torah, Talmud, or Kabbalistic sources.

Now playing...

Kabbalah and Madonna
The “Kabbalah Revolution”, buoyed by superstar celebrity involvement, claims that the ancient Jewish wisdom has, along with its empowerments, become available for all. Can delving into these mystical teachings and engaging in strange “Kabbalah Rituals” enable you to discover joy and fulfillment, remove career obstacles and assist you in finding your soul mate? Or, is this the hoax of the century?
