Synopses & Reviews
Nearly 2000 years ago, the Zohar, the classic text of the Kabbalah, predicted that in our day and age - beginning in the six-hundredth year of the sixth millenium - revolutionary advances in secular knowledge would burst forth and flood the world. The Kabbalah predicted the resulting upheaval that is now causing the world, unable to adjust to the astounding speed of change, to reel in chaos.We face a crisis situation at all levels of society; wherever we look we see dysfunction, instability, turmoil, apathy and confusion. At the crux is a crisis in leadership. Corruption in the highest ranks of almost every nation on the globe that has left the world suspicious of any individual's motives and ability to lead.What is the solution? The answer that Kabbalah offers is that when enough individuals cultivate their own personal qualities of leadership, these collective efforts will spiritually empower the potential true leaders and allow them to rise and assume responsibility. The five dynamics of leadership explained in this book are not external strategies of power politics but rather potent tools for contacting dormant powers of the soul.Whether you envision yourself as a potential leader or just want a leader you can be proud to follow, learning these mystical dynamics will change your life. And once the stage is thus set, the Untimate Leader will emerge to fulfill the hopes of all good people the world over.
Synopsis
And they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation. Neither shall they learn war anymore...
This is the prophesy of Isaiah, promising the world what it yearns for--a perfect future, a future without war, without hunger, without strife. That such a future awaits us, Isaiah says, is a promise from G-d. When it will dawn is up to us.
In Awakening the Spark Within, Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh explains how every Jew man, woman, and child can live up to this awesome responsibility by cultivating in everyday personal life his or her own innate sparks of leadership. He shows how seemingly insignificant individual efforts can have world-changing consequences and bring the prophetic vision of the future to its ultimate fulfillment.
