Conduct of the Course:
We read the text and work to understand Rabbi Ashlag’s intention.
We then look at how the concepts learned apply (or not) to our own lives.
The course is conducted in groups. Groups develop a dynamic of their own and thus the pace is largely set by the interests of the participants.
The topics are built up from the beginning of the course and therefore it is important to be involved right from the very beginning of the course.
Each class lasts one hour in which we learn from text with time for discussion and questions. We learn with three specific questions in mind:
1) What is Rabbi Ashlag saying? 2) What is Rabbi Ashlag saying to me? 3) What am I going to do about it?
  A Gateway to the Wisdom of the Kabbalah

Nehora School, Rabbi Yehudah lev Ashlag, Yedidah Cohen, Kabbalah learning on-line,
 
We study directly from the text of Rabbi Ashlag the Petichah Le Chochmat HaKabbalah . This great work of Rabbi Ashlag's is a relatively short book in actual fact. It is an overview of the work of the Ari, in which we learn the flow of light and vessel from the Ein Sof down through  the spiritual worlds . It is technical in nature and suitable for the more mature student who is comfortable applying seemingly technical information to the details of their own lives. There is profound learning within it as we see that many of the processes we recognize within ourselves have their origin in the higher worlds. We learn in an on-going weekly course
  Facilitator's Course

Nehora School, Rabbi Yehudah lev Ashlag, Yedidah Cohen, Kabbalah learning on-line,
 
This is an on-line course that follows the same format as the course "the Tapestry for the Soul" but is geared towards people who already lead groups or who want to start their own groups using this material. To become an accredited facilitator of this material the person must attend in practice  most of the meetings (not rely on recorded session) and lead three meetings  that are recorded, for feedback. Facilitator's ancillary material is ready.
  
  Bar mitzvah/ Bat mitzvah course
  

Nehora School, Rabbi Yehudah lev Ashlag, Yedidah Cohen, Kabbalah learning on-line,
 
This course is primarily intended for adults who are accompanying their children's bar and bat mitzvah's but it is also suitable for people reaching significant turning points in their lives. The course is based on the texts in Rabbi Ashhlag's "Introduction to the Zohar" in which we learn the parts of a person's life; the importance of the age of 12/13;  the beginning of the incarnation of the higher levels of the soul; and the turn towards spirituality which is expressed through the bar mitzvah. As the adult group we will learn in depth, giving us valuable tools to help us guide our children, One  lesson will be given to the young people themselves if they feel they would like it. This is optional and  is decided at the time.
