Path to the Light Beresheet, Volume 4 is filled with the light and love that lies at the heart of the Rav s relationship with the wisdom of Kabbalah. In his commentaries on the Torah, dealing with the portions of Miketz, Vayishlach, and Vayechi, the Rav expounds on the idea that shichecha is an energy-intelligence that creates a condition of forgetfulness; not as a result of the absence of memory but rather because a force of darkness called ketz, which means end, causes the memory bank to become covered, creating the illusion that it is seemingly blank. Using everyday examples, from the media or common experiences, Rav Berg unravels the Bible s coded messages with simplicity and humor, revealing to the reader practical ways in which kabbalistic principles can be applied to increase the measure of happiness, joy, and peace in life and throughout the world It is not necessary for the reader to review the Path to the Light volumes in any specific order, for they serve solely to radically improve our lives, and this objective is achieved and found in abundance wherever we dip into the text. Rav Berg was born August 20, 1927, in New York City. After many years of traditional religious study, he was ordained as a rabbi at Torah VaDaat. A businessman who wanted to make a difference in this world, he was always searching for his true path. Upon a chance meeting with Rav Yehuda Brandwein, Rav Berg knew he had found his teacher, and moved to Israel to study with Rav Brandwein at The Kabbalah Centre. After he returned to New York, Rav Berg maintained a written correspondence with Rav Brandwein who passed on his legacy as director of The Kabbalah Centre to Rav Berg Rav Berg made it his mission to continue editing, writing, printing, and distributing all that he learned from his teacher and began sharing the secrets of Kabbalah texts, which historically had been reserved for scholars. His book, Kabbalah for the Layman, was the revolutionary step that made Kabbalah accessible to every person. Rav Berg s other books include The Kabbalah Connection, Wheels of a Soul: Kabbalah and Reincarnation, To the Power of One, Energy of the Hebrew Letters, Immortality, Nano, The Kabbalah Method, Taming Chaos, and Education of a Kabbalist. Together with his wife, Karen, Rav Berg opened the doors of The Kabbalah Centre to all who desire to learn this universal wisdom. Following Rav Berg's passing in September 2013, Karen Berg, the spiritual leader of The Kabbalah Centre, continues their work and vision with their son and co-director, Michael Berg.
