Yes, the uniqueness of Kabbalah is that it deals with the Upper World and is open to all who have a point in the heart.  I appreciate that. But I’ve heard Rav say to be engaged in this world as well,  but don’t talk about your spiritual development outside the society.  So isn’t one morally  obligated to decry hating others and violence, no matter who the perpetrator?  Isn’t part of dissemination speaking about love your neighbor?

I also am consumed by events in the Middle East.  You say there’s a spin on the news, but it is clear that 1000’s of innocent civilians have been killed and maimed, and the whole Gaza Strip leveled.   Since the essence of Kabbalah  is love of others, how can a Kabbalist not speak against such crimes?

Is the sound of kaf and kuf the same?    How to know which to use for the sound “k”?

Also for tet and tav.      Also is final kaf pronounced “k” or “ch”?

This is a bit off the usual question, but I’m wondering how Kabbalah regards gay and transgender people.  I’m guessing those are regarded as corporeal aspects that are not relevant in the spiritual world?  How would Bnei Baruch welcome someone with a different gender identity than male or female?

[Esther]

How do you write the sound of the letter W in Hebrew.  How would you spell the word west?

Hi! I’m Esther and I’ve been wanting to learn to speak and understand Hebrew for years. Now in KabU, that’s become more of a desire. Looking forward to learning with you
