Endless Light: The Ancient Path of Kabbalah

David Aaron

In his book Endless Light, David Aaron, the distinguished head of the world-famed Isralight Institute in Jerusalem, explores the most fundamental and universally troubling questions we all ask at some point in our lives: Who am I? Why am I? What is life all about? What do I need to do to love and be loved? After years of careful study, David Aaron provides the answers to those questions as revealed in the Kabbalah, the mystical teachings that interpret the five books of Moses - the Torah. Rich in stories of David Aaron's own personal experiences as a husband, father, teacher, and spiritual mentor, Endless Light offers us a new and deeper awareness of ourselves, our inner conflicts, and the choices we must make to understand and receive life's bounteous gifts. The author also retells the familiar stories of the Torah - the Creation, the Expulsion from Eden, and many others - clarifying their mysterious meanings and deciphering what they teach us about ourselves and how to fulfill our purpose in life. He shares the Kabbalah's wisdom about how to truly love and be loved; he addresses the conflict between the powers of fate and free will. And he describes the steps along the path of life that will lead us to spiritual growth, creativity, freedom, happiness, and inner peace.
