Kabbalah. Ken Torah is a book which unites Kabbalah and science

If you are open-minded and striving to reveal the truth - this book is for you !

Rabbi Gershon Kantorovich graduated from Moscow State University with a M.Sc in Mathematics. In his 17 years at the Yeshiva, he learned a broad perception of Torah, Talmud and Kabbalah studies. He received the official Rabbinical certificate from the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, now deceased, r. Yitzhak Kolitz.

While studying the Kabbalistic books, Zohar and Sefer Yezira (Book of Creation), he discovered a correlation between religion and modern science.

"While it sounds trivial, I would like to confirm that there is only one universe. Religion and science describe it, possibly, from different points of view and using different languages. However, I believe that if each one of them will be comprehended, we can move toward the unique universe perception. It is worthwhile to remember that Kabbalah is only a method in order to explain the universe phenomena, although it's not always comprehended by the public.

According to my approach, Kabbalah and science are equal means for the unique perception of the Universe. I never "play" with the Kabbalah terminology, like other authors used to do. Instead I introduce it when necessary and only in those cases, when they can really assist in solving serious problems".
