Two days Kabbalah Seminar given by Rabbi Raphael Afilalo

The goal of the Kabbalah seminar will be to provide a genuine picture and a serious knowledge of the authentic Kabbalah.

The participant will learn the main terms and concepts most often encountered, and that are the foundation of Kabbalah. These concepts will be explained in a clear and concise language to encourage questions and dialogue, and for a good understanding of what Kabbalah truly is.

The program is two days long and divided in six parts of three sessions of two hours each day. It could be given in two week days, or on a Saturday and Sunday. Each participant will also receive books, learning materials and notes.

Kav - ray

This ray of His direct light called "Kav" emerged from Ein Sof (Infinite) and entered on one side of the vacant space, where there was still an imprint of the original light. The Kav, which represents the masculine and the imprint, the feminine, will now together give existence to the worlds and the various systems of Sephirot with which He will govern these worlds.

There are two main systems of guidance of the worlds: one is for the general guidance, in charge of the nature and normal events, and one for men, influenced by their acts and time.

After entering the vacant space, the Kav made ten circular Sephirot encircling one another - (encircling Sephirot) in charge of the general guidance of the worlds. Keeping his shape, he also made ten Sephirot in a linear arrangement - (straight Sephirot) in charge of the guidance of the world in the manner of ‘Hesed, Din and Ra’hamim (Kindness, rigor and mercy), which is the balanced guidance of this existence.

The Kav is the root of all the guidance and the innermost interiority of all this creation.
