In this class Rabbi Yisroel Bernath into the Kabbalistic perspective on emotional growth, focusing specifically on the emotion of love during a special omer period of introspection. Rabbi Bernath explains that contrary to common belief, emotional growth continues throughout one’s life. Love, being essential for both giving and receiving, acts as a foundation for all human interactions and transcends the mere act of feeling. The discussion highlights the complexity of love, showing that it involves multiple aspects such as discipline, compassion, endurance, humility, bonding, and sovereignty, each of which must be balanced to foster healthy relationships and emotional well-being.

Key Takeaways
Emotional Examination: The importance of examining one's emotions to achieve emotional freedom and health. This process involves questioning and analyzing one's emotional tendencies and balances.The Complexity of Love: Love is multifaceted, requiring not just the capacity to love others but also discipline to modulate this love, compassion to understand others, endurance to maintain love over time, humility to yield and bond, and sovereignty that respects both parties' dignity.Emotional Growth as a Lifelong Process: Emotional maturity is not static and continues to develop throughout life, unlike the often static perception of intellectual or financial growth.Sevenfold Approach to Each Emotion: In Kabbalah, each emotion is explored through seven subcategories, adding depth to understanding and managing these emotions effectively.
Rabbi Yisroel Bernath, named “La Rabbin de Lamour” by the La Presse online daily and “Montreal’s Hipster Rabbi” by VICELAND’s Matty Matheson, is director at Chabad of NDG and the Jewish Chaplain at Concordia University in Montreal.
