It’s as if a few lifetimes of experiences were compressed into months. And this frees a person to a whole new layer of life above all of what seemed before as obstacles. When you know that’s possible you want to share it [the wisdom of Kabbalah] again and again.”

It is profoundly humbling to nudge them toward it.”
