ROOTS & BRANCHES: THE DYNAMICS OF THE KABBALAH’S TREE OF LIFE is now available on Amazon.
When my brother, Rabbi Steven Fisdel (z”l) passed away in April, 2019, he had just completed writing the final chapter of the book he had been working on for years titled “Roots & Branches: The Dynamics of the Kabbalah’s Tree of Life”. To honor my brother and his wishes, for more than a year I have been committed to seeing his final book published. I am delighted to announce that Roots & Branches has just been published and is now available on Amazon in both paperback and ebook formats. If you are interested, here is the link to the Amazon page:

I know I'm his sister, but bias aside, I truly believe my brother's final book is a gift to us all—an exquisitely insightful and eloquent masterpiece.
May my brother’s memory forever be a blessing.
Wishing you all a safe, healthy, happy new year.

My associate and partner, Mikhail Tank, recently interviewed world renowned authority on Jewish mysticism, Dr Daniel Matt, about his award winning twenty year project of translating, annotating and commenting on the Zohar. His work is a masterpiece of both translation and erudition.

Greetings,

I am very pleased to announce a new service that I am now offering that is a significant addition to the work that I am doing. I have taken on an associate, Mr. Mikhail Tank, who does a form of Spiritual Counseling that augments the work I have been doing for many years. It is referred to as Archetypal Counseling. Archetypal work draws on central components taken from modern psychology, mythology, literature, philosophy and Midrash. It uses universal symbols to identify, understand and work through many forms of life issues, both longstanding and immediate, that are obstructing one’s creative flow and preventing a full, rich and complete expression of self.

The Kabbalist Spiritual Counseling that I am known for focuses on identifying the root causes, the spiritual core, of what is producing, influencing and perpetuating the difficulty being faced. It portrays the hidden dynamics of the issue and points toward the various options available for resolution. The modalities that I use include intuitive readings based on the Kabbalah, in depth discussion of the findings, case specific meditations, past life work and personalized training in Kabbalist spiritual practice.
It is now possible to work with either of us separately or with both of us an integrated team. The benefit of this joint effort is to provide a wider scope in understanding and resolving persistent issues and difficult life challenges. This approach is particularly expansive and effective since it offers both an amalgam of ancient and modern approaches and is coming from a decidedly intergenerational perspective.

I encourage you to view our current video introducing this new service at

Shalom U’Vrakhah,

Rabbi Fisdel
