How can I find someone who teaches Kabbalah?
It is not possible to recommend specific people or organisations as what is right for one person may not be right for another. In general, (good) teachers of Kabbalah are not easy to find and never have been. There is a tradition that when the pupil is ready, a teacher will appear. The difficulty in finding a teacher can be viewed as a nuisance or a positive part of learning Kabbalah. A thing is valued more when it is hard to find. Associate with people who share your interests, go to lectures and public meetings, go to workshops, go to whatever happens to be available, (even if it is not entirely to your taste), and sooner or later someone will “turn up”. Many Kabbalists are people with strong personal convictions of a religious nature, and may see their teaching as a personal obligation (see “What is the Great Work?”). Those who do not charge money for their teaching may require a strong commitment from pupils, and are unlikely to welcome “flavour of the month” mystical aspirants. A
