Quote

The redemption of Israel and all the worth of Israel is dependent on the learning of the Zohar and the innermost aspect of the Torah.

The opposite is true also. All the afflictions and degradations that have come upon the Children of Israel are on account of their neglecting the most intimate part of Torah, and not having valued it but having related to it as something superfluous, G-d forbid.

- Introduction to the Zohar, paragraphs 65-70

New SKG Logo

Thanks to our friend David from www.kabbalah4all.com, Student Kabbalah Group has a new logo! The new look comes from the kabbalistic concept of "tikkun olam" (repair/healing of the world). Let us know what you think of the logo by emailing info@kabbalahgroup.org

Spring
Contribution Drive

Each semester, Student Kabbalah Group provides book discussions, classes, Shabbat gathering, Holiday Connections and more to students at Central Michigan University. Our Online Virtual Group has over 100 members from places like England, Australia, Honduras, Argentina and more. Our online bookstore has provided resources to student at affordable prices including ten wholesale sets of Zohar this past semester. We are able to do all that we do because of the support of our Contributing Members.

As we begin a new semester, we would like to humbly ask you to consider supporting our work. Most importantly, we would like you to realize the spiritual significance of sharing or tithing. By your willingness to give energy (even in the form of money), you open up, create a vessel, and allow more energy to flow back into your life (in a variety of ways). In kabbalah, we learn that in order to receive, we must give. We are confident that our group will continue to be taken care of, and we are grateful for whatever support you can offer.

Photo Galleries Updated

It’s been a while since we’ve posted new photos on the website, and we decided it was about time. Visit http://photos.kabbalahgroup.org or click on Community at the top of our website to see the new Fall 2005 Gallery. My favorite is the "kabbalah group pile up."
