Earlier this century, the word "Kabbalah" was often in the headlines with celebrities like Madonna, Ashton Kutcher, and Ariana Grande. Putting aside the question of whether what these celebrities were involved with was authentic Kabbalah or not, what was behind the sudden boost in public awareness of even the word "Kabbalah" through these celebrities?
How could something that has been shrouded in mystery and taboo for centuries suddenly pop into public awareness in the course of a few years?
Also, besides Madonna, Ashton Kutcher, and Ariana Grande, several other celebrities found themselves in the media limelight with that word "Kabbalah" over the years including Mila Kunis, Demi Moore, James Van Der Beek, Marla Maples, Frankie Grande, Britney Spears, Roseanne Barr, Sandra Bernhard, Anthony Kiedis, Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall, Lucy Liu, Alex Rodriguez, Rosie O'Donnell, Naomi Campbell, Donna Karan, Elizabeth Taylor, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Kyle Richards, Heather McComb, and Lindsay Lohan, to name a few.
The reason behind the surge in Kabbalah's popularity ever since the turn of the century is far deeper than what we have seen in the media with these celebrities.
Kabbalists dating back to the authors of The Zohar, around 2,000 years ago, wrote about our era as being highly significant in relation to the surfacing of Kabbalah around the world.
Why has Kabbalah become so popular and mainstream today? Also, what has been the role of celebrities and different teachings that use the word "Kabbalah" in solidifying this word in public awareness?
Gil Shir explores these questions from the perspective of authentic Kabbalah in this session of Kabbalah Explained Simply.
