Live Kabbalah - With Rabbi Amichai Cohen

In Parshat Lech Lecha, we meet Avram, the first believer and influencer of the ONE G-d.Avram is asked to leave everything, family, familiarity and fame behind to go to go into the great unkown.Why was G-d asking him to leave everything behind? In this class, we learn about the courageous journey of Avraham, the first to reveal G-d’s oneness in a fragmented world. From his awakening to the call to “Go for yourself,” Avraham models the soul’s path of leaving comfort and ego behind to discover its Divine purpose. Through Kabbalistic and Chassidic insight, we explore the deeper meaning of his transformation from Avram to Avraham, the integration of the feminine hei, and the spiritual mission of bringing holiness into our everyday lives.

Shame is called the master emotion. It binds us into debilitating, self-loathing beliefs that we are dammened. In this class, we explore the root of shame, which goes back to Adam and Eve's primordial sin. After Adam's fall, shame seeped into the fabric of humanity. Return or teshuva has the same letters as shame - boshet. The very core of Teshuva - return is the return to our higher selves, which is eternally pure. Our ability to hold dualities and bring awareness to our shame-ridden patterns brings shame into the light.This is the return of humanity back to the place of love, compassion, joy and bliss our true birthright.

✨ Sweetening the Judgments with Love ✨In the second chapter of Heichaltzu, the Alter Rebbe teaches that the real war against Midyan is an inner one—a struggle to unite discipline (Gevurah) with kindness (Chesed). When judgment stands alone, it creates harshness, separation, and even spiritual exile. But when infused with compassion, its true purpose is revealed: to guide, uplift, and reconnect us to Hashem.Like black fire written on white parchment, the details of Torah law are held within an infinite sea of Divine love. Our mission is to sweeten life’s intensity with kindness, transforming conflict into harmony and revealing G‑d’s oneness in the world. 🌿🔥🤍

The Zohar in Parshat Pinchas reveals that while the stars and constellations shape much of human destiny, they do not define it absolutely. Our astrological charts may set the framework of our lives, but like Avraham Avinu, who was lifted beyond the stars to receive the promise of a child, we too can transcend these cosmic boundaries. The key lies in true connection—living Torah deeply, not just learning it intellectually. When we align with the divine source above creation, we rise beyond the sway of the constellations and tap into a higher flow of blessing, where miracles become possible and destiny is rewritten from above the stars.Book an in-depth Soul Mapping Session with Rabbi Amichaihttps://www.livekabbalah.com/Mentoring-With-Rabbi-Amichai

In our recent learning from the Zohar on Parshat Pinchas (Zohar III:213, Resha Gimmel), we uncover a powerful mystical teaching about Yosef HaTzaddik, temptation, language, and the secret connection between Yosef and Pinchas.The Zohar opens with Rabbi Chiya patach—"Rabbi Chiya opened"—with the verse from Tehillim (Psalms 81:6), “Edut b’Yosef Samo”—“He established it as a testimony for Yosef when he went out over the land of Egypt.” This verse, the Zohar teaches, is not just historical commentary but a gateway into understanding Yosef’s deep spiritual test and transformation.Yosef was granted the knowledge of all seventy languages, equal to Pharaoh, who was regarded as the most intellectually powerful man in Egypt. But the Zohar emphasizes something more: Yosef knew one language beyond them all—the Lashon HaKodesh, the holy tongue, Hebrew. This extra language was not merely linguistic but spiritual; it symbolized Yosef’s connection to the Divine.The Zohar then shifts to the well-known story of Yosef and the wife of Potiphar. It explains that when she attempted to seduce him, Yosef pretended not to understand her words. Although he already knew Egyptian, he acted as if he was confused by her language—avoiding engagement with her advances day after day. Only when she physically seized his cloak did he become visibly confronted by the test. At that moment, the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit, cried out within him, invoking the verse from Mishlei (Proverbs), “To guard you from the foreign woman, from the stranger who uses seductive words.”This moment of inner strength and restraint, says the Zohar, became Yosef’s greatest testimony. The Adut—testimony—mentioned in the verse refers to his embodiment of the Sefirah of Yesod, the Divine attribute of foundation, which is deeply connected to sexual integrity and moral restraint.Because of Yosef’s merit, he was granted an additional letter in his name: the letter "Hey", becoming Yehosef. In Kabbalah, the letter Hey symbolizes the Shechinah, the Divine Presence. It was now integrated into Yosef’s very being, testifying that he had become a vessel for holiness.And then the Zohar draws a profound parallel: just as Yosef merited the Hey, Pinchas merited the letter Yud added to his name. Both letters—Hey and Yud—are facets of the Shechinah, representing different expressions of Divine energy. Yosef faced inner seduction and resisted. Pinchas faced societal collapse and acted. Both withstood immense spiritual pressure and aligned themselves with Divine will.Through this, the Zohar reveals a deeper mystery: Pinchas is rooted in the soul of Yosef. Both were alone in their moment of testing. Both chose righteousness. And both merited transformation—Pinchas ultimately becoming Eliyahu HaNavi, the eternal prophet.

In this opening class on the Alter Rebbe’s foundational ma’amar Heichaltzu, we explore the inner war against Midian—the force of separation, judgment, and baseless hatred. Discover how this spiritual battle is at the heart of our long exile, and how Torah learning has the power to bring peace between the upper and lower worlds. With deep insights into the Divine Name, the purpose of creation, and the path to unity, this session sets the stage for personal and collective redemption.

A Zohar-based journey into the soul’s hidden strength during exile. Discover how the Shechinah, Zion, Yosef, and Pinchas reveal your potential to break through darkness and awaken divine purpose.

In this powerful class based on the Zohar in Parshat Pinchas, we explore the deep mystical teachings on gilgulim—reincarnations—and the soul’s mission across lifetimes.Why do some souls return in this generation? What does it mean to inherit a body in the resurrection? And how did Pinchas, through one courageous act, elevate not only his soul but also the souls of Nadav and Avihu, becoming Eliyahu HaNavi?This class reveals how each of us has the power to do profound tikkun (repair) even if we feel “less worthy” than the souls of past generations. Our sincere actions in this generation carry immense spiritual weight.💫 Join our weekly reincarnation and soul-healing series in the Light Warrior Program on Live Kabbalah:www.livekabbalah.com/lightwarrior

This week's Torah portion, Shelach, tells the dramatic story of the spies—meraglim—sent by Moshe to scout the Land of Israel. But the deeper question is: were they spies, or were they meant to be tourists?The mission, Rashi explains, was not necessary from G-d’s perspective. G-d had already assured the people that the Land was good. But the people were afraid, uncertain. They wanted reassurance. So Moshe sends twelve leaders, one from each tribe, to "see" the land and report back—not to decide whether to go in, but to help envision what inheriting the land would look like.But something shifts. The Torah says "Vayelchu vayavo’u", they went and they returned—with a negative report. Why both verbs? Rashi explains: they already had a negative intention when they left. If so, why would Moshe send them?

Who was the grandmother of King David? A royal Moabite who left everything to follow G-d and believe in herself. Ruth teaches us that we all begin in the field uncertain, unpolished, uninvited. But when we choose connection over comfort, service over self-serving, we become vessels for redemption. That is how Mashiach comes—not just on a cosmic scale, but in the quiet moments when we align with truth, when we listen deeply, when we allow wonder in, when we say “yes” from the depths of our being. Listen to this excellent class on one of the most remarkable women in history, the grandmother of King David.

On Shavuot, we don’t just receive the Torah — we receive its deepest essence.The Book of Ruth is more than a beautiful story.

This week’s Torah portion is Vayakhel, which is often read together with the following portion, Pekudei. These two portions share a unique connection, as they both recount the building of the Mishkan, the Tabernacle. Previously, in Parshiyot Terumah and Tetzaveh, Hashem commanded the construction of the Mishkan and its vessels. Now, in Vayakhel and Pekudei, we see the actual execution of those instructions.The Mishkan was built under the leadership of two great individuals: Betzalel ben Uri from the tribe of Yehuda and Oholiav ben Achisamach from the tribe of Dan. Rashi explains that Hashem specifically chose leaders from both the highest-ranking tribe (Yehuda) and the lowest-ranking tribe (Dan) to emphasize that the Mishkan belonged to everyone.
