Live Kabbalah · Founding Cohort 2026
The Lamplighter
Practitioner Certification Program
“The righteous do not complain about darkness; they simply add more light” -Rav Avraham Yitzchak Kook
When we look at the world around us, it is easy to feel the darkness, chaos, and uncertainty of these times. Yet within each of us is a soul connected to truth, light, and love. Perhaps the light you carry was given to you for this moment, not only to illuminate your own life, but to bring clarity, healing, and hope to others.
This training teaches you how to embody that light and share it.
Over eight months, you will study the core teachings of Kabbalah and Chassidus as a path of spiritual and emotional transformation. You will understand your inner world, recognize the patterns shaping your life, and reconnect with the essence of your soul. As the wisdom becomes alive within you, you will learn how to teach it clearly, hold space, facilitate, and guide others responsibly.
This is for teachers and leaders who want to share this wisdom, therapists, coaches, and healers who want to bring it into their work, and anyone called to carry greater light into their family and community.

What Is A Lamplighter?
נֵר הֿ נִשְׁמַת אָדָם
The candle of G-d is the soul of a person · Mishlei 20:27
The Rebbe Rashab taught that a Chassid is a lamplighter. He walks the streets carrying a flame, going from lamp to lamp, kindling lights that are not his own. The flame loses nothing by being given.
There are more people looking for light than there are people trained to give it. That is why this program exists.
A lamplighter brings enduring spiritual wisdom into the questions of our time, including the new possibilities and responsibilities emerging through AI.
An eight month training in the core teachings of Kabbalah and Chassidus, and in bringing them into the work you already do, whether you teach, counsel, coach, heal, or hold a family and a community.
Who Is This For?
Teachers And Leaders
You already teach. You want the foundations of Kabbalah and Chassidus, the skill to build a curriculum, and the craft to give it over in a way people can actually live.
Therapists, Coaches, And Healers
You hold people in your practice. You want these teachings woven into how you serve, so your work reaches mind, body and soul, and the healing goes deeper.
Called To Share Your Light
You feel the pull of a shlichut, a mission that is yours alone. You want the skill to bring your light into your family, your community, your corner of the world.
A Living Curriculum
Wisdom, Embodiment, And Practice
You will study authentic Kabbalistic wisdom not only as knowledge, but as a path of personal transformation, a journey into your own soul, your essence, and the deeper patterns shaping your life. Along the way you will see where this wisdom meets the approaches many practitioners already use, including parts work, somatic awareness, cognitive and behavioral psychology, and the work of Viktor Frankl. As the teachings become alive within you, you will learn to communicate and apply them clearly and responsibly, bringing their light into your work, whether you are a teacher, therapist, coach, healer, or community leader, through teaching, meditation, facilitation, and circles.
Module 1
Your Life Mission And The Light You Carry
Why study Kabbalah now? The Zohar teaches that through this wisdom we will come out of exile with compassion and into redemption. What was once hidden is meant to be revealed in our generation.
Clarify your kavanah and discover your unique shlichut, the soul mission and light you came here to share. Understand your part in Tikkun Olam, the repair of the world that no one else can do in your place.
Study the Tanya's teaching on free choice alongside Viktor Frankl's work on meaning. Tap into the deeper purpose of your own life, learn to help others find theirs, and learn to communicate authentic Kabbalah in a way that speaks to life today.
Module 2
The Architecture Of Creation
Explore the purpose of creation. Why does an infinite G-d create a finite world? Study the teaching that creation exists so the Divine can have a dwelling place here, within ordinary life.
Learn the interplay of light and vessel, the pattern through which the world was created: how infinite light enters a finite vessel, and how a vessel grows to hold more. Study Tzimtzum, the Divine contraction that makes room for a world, along with Divine unity, concealment, and revelation.
Understand the klipah, the concealment that covers the light, and how light and darkness are related: why darkness exists at all, and how it is meant to be transformed.
See how the same pattern lives inside every person and every challenge, and how these teachings become living maps for purpose, presence, listening, and transformation.
Module 3
The Tree Of Life And The Makeup Of The Soul
Study the Sefirot, the Four Worlds, Tohu and Tikkun, and the human being as a reflection of the Divine.
Learn the makeup of the soul: its five levels, the G-dly soul and the animal soul, and its three garments of thought, speech, and action.
Gain the Kabbalistic understanding of the mind: how Chochmah, Binah, and Daat give birth to the emotions of the heart, and how mind and heart together shape our actions and the way we show up in the world. Learn to use these teachings as compassionate frameworks for growth, patterns, and human potential.
Module 4
Our Parts, The Shadow, And Inner Transformation
We are each made up of many parts: the inner critic, the protectors, and our defense mechanisms. Most importantly, we have a Divine soul. It is our essence and our inner compass, the voice of intuition and truth that guides us and connects us to our highest and deepest self.
Learn to understand your own parts and work with them, based on the teachings of Kabbalah and Chassidus on the two souls and on modern parts work such as IFS. Meet the shadow and learn to work with it as the raw material of transformation rather than as something to be fixed.
Bring this into lived experience through somatic awareness of what the body is holding, self-awareness, relational dynamics, Emunah, Bitachon, boundaries, and Tikkun HaNefesh, while continuing to see the dignity and potential of the person.
Module 5
Jewish Meditation, Breathwork, And Holding Space
Deepen your understanding of prayer, Devekut, kavanah, breathwork, visualization, and Jewish and Kabbalistic meditation. Learn how a teaching moves from the mind to the heart and into lived experience, through meditation and breath.
Learn to guide practices, create safety, work with silence, and hold meaningful space without rushing to interpret or fix.
Module 6
Teaching And Facilitating The Wisdom
Learn to turn profound teachings into clear, transformational experiences. Develop mind maps, classes, meditations, individual sessions, and circles, then strengthen your voice through practice, reflection, and honest feedback.
If you are already a therapist, coach, or healer, learn how to bring this wisdom into your existing work responsibly.
Module 7
Kabbalistic Astrology And Applied Kabbalah
Explore the foundations of Kabbalistic astrology, spiritual time, and mazal and free will. Learn to recognize a person's strengths as the gifts of their soul, where Kabbalah meets positive psychology.
Practice translating complex patterns into grounded, responsible insight that opens possibility rather than defining a person.
Module 8
Ancient Wisdom For An Emerging World
Explore the spiritual questions raised by AI and a rapidly changing world.
Learn to bring enduring Kabbalistic wisdom into teaching, coaching, facilitation, healing work, and community leadership, while shaping an authentic offering of your own.
How The Learning Comes Alive
Kabbalistic Depth
Study the authentic sources, concepts, and spiritual architecture behind each subject.
Personal Embodiment
Explore how the wisdom lives within your own experience, relationships, patterns, and spiritual practice.
Practitioner Application
Learn how to communicate and apply the teachings responsibly in classes, circles, sessions, and your existing work.
Practice And Feedback
Teach, guide, facilitate, receive thoughtful feedback, and return to the work with greater clarity and confidence.

Support In Bringing Your Own Work To Life
Many people come to this program with something they already want to share: a class, a circle, a way of working with clients, or an idea that has not yet taken shape. Part of the program is helping you bring it out. You will meet one-on-one with Rabbi Amichai and Miriam, and you will work with the group, sharing what you are building and receiving feedback. By the end you will have both the inner tools and the practical tools to share your work, and you will feel confident and capable doing it.
