Karen Berg

Karen Berg, Global spiritual leader and director of Kabbalah Centre International, has touched millions of lives around the world. Karen’s greatest belief is in bringing peace to the world by increasing awareness of people’s similarities rather than their differences. In that spirit, she launched Kids Creating Peace, one of The Kabbalah Centre initiatives, which works directly with children in war-torn areas of the world, with its focus currently being primarily between Palestinian and Israeli children. Karen travels extensively to communicate her message of peace—from Moscow to Mexico City, London to Caracas—she is constantly looking to help diverse groups work together. She has spoken at Mastering the Ultimate Challenges in London and Poland with Donna Karan; the 2009 Women’s Conference presented by Maria Shriver; The Power of Peace Conference in London with Dr. Jehan Sedat; and she led more than 1200 students of all faiths from The Kabbalah Centre on a march of peace with the Governor of Nablus, Palestine, at the square that was once the location that sparked acts of hatred and war.

Over four decades ago, Karen and her husband, Rav Berg, set out to make Kabbalah understandable and relevant to people’s everyday life. Their goal was to provide people with spiritual tools based on kabbalistic principles that could be applied to improve lives and by doing so, make the world better. Under the leadership of Karen Berg, The Kabbalah Centre has grown from a single location into one of the world’s leading sources of spiritual wisdom with more than 40 Centres around the globe. The organization has provided tens of thousands of students with books, online courses, workshops, retreats, and lectures.
