    Kabbalah for Everyone - Lesson 13: Educating the Animal Soul
    Sep 2 2026
    Send us Fan MailWhat if the parts of yourself you struggle with most are not meant to be destroyed, but redirected?In Lesson 13 of Kabbalah for Everyone, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath moves beyond simply identifying the Nefesh HaBahamit, the animal soul and discovers the deeper Kabbalistic vision: the goal is not to become less human, less passionate, less ambitious, or less emotional. The goal is to educate the enormous energy already inside us.Drawing from Tanya, we explore itkafya, the ability to create space between an impulse and our response; the inner “courtroom” of the beinoni, where a feeling may make its argument without being allowed to issue the verdict; and ultimately the possibility of redirecting the animal soul itself toward holiness.The ox is powerful. Unharnessed, it can destroy a field. Harnessed, that very same strength can produce a harvest. Your stubbornness can become loyalty. Your ambition can become service. Your sensitivity can become compassion. Your appetite for life can itself become part of your relationship with G-d.The goal is not spirituality despite being human. It is spirituality through being human.Key PointsA voice is not a verdict. An impulse, emotion, or thought may speak loudly without being given authority over what you think, say, or do.The beinoni is not someone without struggle. Spiritual greatness can exist right in the middle of an ongoing inner battle.Itkafya creates freedom. Sometimes holiness begins with the ability to say, “I want this, but I do not have to obey it right now.”Don’t kill the ox. Harness it. The raw energy behind difficult traits may contain tremendous spiritual power.Same ox. Different plow. Stubbornness can become persistence. Competition can become self-improvement. Pleasure can become beautiful Shabbat. Ambition can become service.The Nefesh HaSichlit is the translator. Our rational mind can help translate the G-dly soul’s truths into language the animal soul can actually understand.Dirah BiTachtonim happens inside us too. G-d wants a dwelling not only in the obviously holy parts of life, but in our bodies, appetites, personalities, passions, and physical energy.Transformation does not mean sanctifying harmful behavior. We reject what is destructive while asking what healthy, holy power may exist underneath it.Do not confuse recurring struggle with failure. Needing to choose again today does not erase yesterday’s victory.The ultimate question is not, “Why am I not somebody else?” It is: “What am I going to do with the soul and temperament G-d gave me?”Tonight Wednesday September 2 at 7:30pm EST on Zoomhttps://www.jewishndg.com/civicrm/event/register?reset=1&id=110September 16th at 7:30pm EST on ZoomThe Forgiveness Experiment: LIVEhttps://www.jewishndg.com/civicrm/event/register?id=109The School for Sensitive Soulshttps://www.kabbalah4everyone.com/checkout/sensitive-souls#Kabbalah #kabala #Jewish #Judaism #KabbalahForEveryone #Rabbiyisroelbernath #Tanya #chassidus #chabad #ChabadChassidus #JewishWisdom #NefeshHaBahamis #AnimalSoul #Beinoni #Itkafya #DirahBiTachtonim #JewishSpirituality #SelfMastery #Transformation #purpose Rabbi Yisroel Bernath's New Book The Forgiveness Experiment is Available now:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Experiment-What-Would-Your/dp/1069217638Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR2QNJL6Audiobook: https://bit.ly/4tPFZhVSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

    Kabbalah for Everyone - Lesson 12: The Two Kings Within: Meeting the Animal Soul

    Send us Fan MailHow Tanya teaches us to understand our inner conflict without shame and choose who gets to rule the city.Download the PDF worksheet herehttps://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ueahmlvp3pptfisjb3a22/Lesson-12-Animal-Soul.pdf?rlkey=dmspfv7j4b4tzlfol97awgyd0&dl=0Why can one part of us sincerely want holiness, meaning, kindness, and growth, while another part wants comfort, recognition, revenge, or simply five more minutes in bed?In this lesson, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath introduces one of Tanya’s foundational teachings: the Nefesh HaElokit, the G-dly soul, and the Nefesh HaBahamit, the animal soul. Rather than seeing our contradictions as proof that something is wrong with us, Tanya gives us a radically compassionate map of the human being: the struggle itself is part of the spiritual life.We explore the animal soul not as something evil that must be destroyed, but as a powerful, self-oriented life force filled with desire, intelligence, emotion, and enormous energy. Its “horsepower” can pull us toward ego and indulgence or be redirected toward love, generosity, ambition and community.Using Tanya’s famous metaphor of two kings fighting over a small city, we discover that spiritual success does not mean never feeling anger, jealousy, temptation, or resistance. The beinoni may still experience the battle; freedom means learning that not every feeling deserves the throne.The lesson concludes with a practical tool, The Two Kings Pause: identify what the animal soul wants, listen for what the G-dly soul wants, and choose one concrete next action. You may not control the first feeling, but you can often choose the next sentence.Key PointsNot every voice inside you is your deepest identity.Tanya describes two inner orientations: the G-dly soul and the animal soul.The animal soul is not inherently evil; it experiences life primarily with the self at the center.The animal soul possesses intellect, emotion, thought, speech, and action, it can be remarkably sophisticated at justifying what it wants.Through kelipat nogah, ordinary desires and physical energies can either descend into self-indulgence or be elevated toward holiness.The goal is often not to eliminate desire but to ask: “Where does this energy belong?”Tanya compares the human being to a small city ruled by two competing kings.The beinoni teaches us that spiritual greatness is not the absence of struggle; it is choosing wisely within the struggle.Moach shalit al halev, the mind can govern the heart—does not mean suppressing emotion. It means emotion does not automatically dictate behavior.The practical process: Name the animal soul. Listen for the G-dly soul. Choose one next action.Don’t measure your day by whether you struggled. Ask: “Who ruled the city in the next moment?”When you fail, repair and choose again. The battle itself can become avodah.--Wednesday, September 2NO FEELING IS FINAL The Elul Art of Beginning AgainWhat if the way you feel right now isn’t the truth about who you are? Elul reminds us: you are never stuck. You are not your worst mistake, your fear, your disappointment, or the version of yourself you’re ready to outgrow.Join me for a special Elul evening exploring teshuvah as return, the possibility of reconnecting with who you really are and beginning again.Wednesday, September 2 Live on Zoom 7:30–8:30 PM — Lecture 8:30–9:30 PM — Interactive Workshop & Guided ProcessingACCESS HERE https://www.jewishndg.com/civicrm/event/register?id=110&reset=1--#Kabbalah #chabad #Jewish #Judaism #KabbalahForEveryone #Tanya #chassidus#JewishWisdom #AnimalSoul #TwoSouls #Beinoni #spiritualgrowth #SelfAwareness #InnerConflict #EmotionalAwareness #FreeChoice #JewishSpirituality #kabala #KabbalahForLife #jewishmysticism #mysticism Rabbi Yisroel Bernath's New Book The Forgiveness Experiment is Available now:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Experiment-What-Would-Your/dp/1069217638Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR2QNJL6Audiobook: https://bit.ly/4tPFZhVSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

  • Kabbalah for Everyone - Lesson 11: The Map Behind the Map What Kabbalah Really Is, Where It Came From, and Why It Matters

    Kabbalah for Everyone - Lesson 11: The Map Behind the Map What Kabbalah Really Is, Where It Came From, and Why It Matters
    Aug 19 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    After ten classes exploring the language and ideas of Kabbalah, we finally step back and ask the most basic question: What is Kabbalah?

    In this lesson, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath traces the inner tradition of Torah from Avraham and Sinai through the Zohar, the Ramak, the Arizal, the Baal Shem Tov, and Chabad Chassidus. More importantly, we uncover the common thread running through it all: Kabbalah teaches us that reality has an inside.

    The visible world is real, but it is never the whole story. Torah has an inner dimension. A mitzvah has an inner dimension. The soul has an inner structure. Creation itself carries hidden Divine meaning.

    This class brings the entire Kabbalah for Everyone journey together and gives you a simple framework for recognizing what makes an idea truly Kabbalistic and how to bring that wisdom into ordinary life.


    Key Points

    Kabbalah means “received wisdom”an inner Torah transmitted through generations.

    Jewish mystical tradition reaches back to Avraham and Sinai, and unfolds through the prophets, the Zohar, the Ramak, the Arizal, the Baal Shem Tov, and Chabad Chassidus.

    Kabbalah teaches that reality has an inside. What we see on the surface is real, but it is not the whole story.

    Kabbalah asks how the Infinite relates to the finite, how Divine unity appears as multiplicity, and how G-d can be hidden while remaining fully present.

    Kabbalah gives us the architecture; Chassidus teaches us how to live inside the building.

    The concepts we have studied throughout the series all share one movement: hidden becoming revealed, soul entering body, meaning entering action, heaven entering earth.

    The ultimate goal is not to escape the physical world, but to uncover the Divine depth already within it.

    The simplest definition: Kabbalah teaches us to see reality from the inside out.

    And the practical question remains: Becheyn? What changes in my life because I know this?
