Fredda Elzweig Scholarship Established in Honor of Cherished Community Member
To support Kabbalah students from LA and NY in need of financial assistance
In remembrance of our dear student and cherished Kabbalah Centre New York community member, Fredda Elzweig, a scholarship fund has been created in her honor to enable students under financial hardship access to the spiritual teachings of Kabbalah.
It was Fredda’s wish upon leaving this physical world to create a lasting impact for others to benefit from Kabbalah’s transformative wisdom, just as she did.
Loving you, Loving me, Loving us. - Fredda
With the creation of the Fredda Elzweig Scholarship Fund, The Kabbalah Centre will carry out Fredda’s wish of subsidizing introductory Kabbalah 1 and other in-person courses held at the Los Angeles, CA and Manhattan, NY Kabbalah Centre locations for those who would otherwise be unable to attend. This legacy is a beautiful example of putting the Kabbalistic wisdom into practice, sharing with others - especially those you don’t know or would directly benefit from. Through her generosity, the Light Fredda awakened with her love, actions, and open heart will live on. Her impact will create a lasting ripple effect in the lives of those who receive a scholarship, or attend a subsidized class, and all whom they in turn share with.
Our wish is for Fredda’s soul to be bound in the bundle of eternal life, and may we carry her memory as a blessing in everything we do. May all those who benefit from the Fredda Elzweig Scholarship Fund experience the life-changing transformation, elevated consciousness, and embodiment of love that Fredda so passionately exemplified.
If you, or someone you know, would like to contribute toward sustaining the Fredda Elzweig Scholarship Fund, please consider doing so.
“Fredda had a heart of gold—pure, generous, and deeply kind. Her presence uplifted those around her, her care for others was unwavering, and her support was felt by many. She truly embodied the path of the ‘lev tov’—the good heart that encompasses all the virtues: seeing the good in others, being a loyal friend, a supportive neighbor, and someone whose intentions were always aligned with a higher purpose. We are better because we knew her. We are stronger because of her faith. And we are inspired to continue walking the path of the good heart, in her merit.”
The Kabbalah Centre
Kabbalah is an ancient wisdom that provides spiritual principles to help humanity create a better world. At The Kabbalah Centre, we not only teach this wisdom but also guide individuals in applying it to every aspect of life through coaching, community, and volunteer opportunities.
In a time when kabbalistic study was restricted to a select few, Karen Berg broke barriers to make this transformative wisdom accessible to everyone—regardless of gender identity, faith, race, or background. Together with her husband, Rav Berg, she created a space where people could come together to study, connect, and grow.
To honor Karen and the Rav’s groundbreaking legacy and Fredda Elzweig’s passion for making this wisdom accessible, we invite you to support this project. Your contribution helps keep Fredda’s vision alive and ensures that this work continues to transform lives and elevate humanity in her memory.
As a global nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of our donors to make Kabbalah accessible to all.
