About

Kabbalah4All Congregation was established to connect people who wish to be part of a Jewish community which focuses on Kabbalah (Mystical Judaism). Through our online Sephardic synagogue, we maintain the continuity of the Jewish people, as well as help strengthen Judaism and the study of Kabbalah; to put into practice its way of life; to teach its language, literature and spiritual traditions; to empower others through services and studies to effect change in their part of the world--the idea of Tikkun Olam. Kabbalah4All strives to be a spiritual community that celebrates diversity and honors the individuality of each unique person. We offer live streaming Shabbat and Holiday services via YouTube. Kabbalah4All makes it possible for many people around the world to have an online congregation they can call home; A Place of Prayer For All People.

Kabbalah refers to the esoteric and mystical traditions within Judaism, the name Kabbalah means to receive. The Hebrew name of our congregation is Kehilat Kabbalah LeChol, which literally means "the Kehilah that Welcomes Everyone."
