This deeply felt memoir illuminates Rav Berg's relationship with his master, the great Kabbalist Rabbi Yehuda Brandwein -- as well as the growth of The Kabbalah Centre, the world's largest organization dedicated to spreading the wisdom of Kabbalah. This is simply the most honest, accurate, and emotionally moving book ever written about a man who truly lives by the principles of Kabbalah in the contemporary world. No aspect of Kabbalah is more important than the relationship between master and student. In Education of a Kabbalist, this essential element is unforgettably brought to life.

Excerpt:
My teacher, Rabbi Brandwein, took me into his private study. He said he had something important to say to me, and that he wanted me to pay close attnetion. He closed his eyes for a moment to focus his thoughts,which he often did when he was concentrating. He said, "I've been waiting for someone to appear who would explain Kabbalah completely and perfectly-so perfectly that every-one would at last be brought back to spirituality. And I have decided that this person is you. ." Rabbi Brandwein held my gaze steadily. I could not turn away. What he had just told me was hard to believe and yet his words had been clear and unmistakable.
