Rosh Hashanah 2025
Your Gift Made This Moment Possible
The Pershing Grant made an extraordinary impact this year. Because of your generosity, 295 students from around the world were able to join our Rosh Hashanah International event in New York—connecting to the transformative, life-changing energy of the holiday with Michael and Monica Berg, our teachers, and our global community. Your support opened the doors for students to experience the prayer services, deepen their spiritual connection, and be part of something truly meaningful.
A special thank you from the students you supported
“After leaving the competitive corporate world, I was seeking a deeper sense of purpose and peace. When I learned about Rosh Hashanah, I felt the Creator was guiding me there—and the scholarship I received confirmed it. Experiencing the teachers in person and being guided by a mentor helped me connect to the consciousness of each connection in a completely new way.
It was truly transformational—it taught me how to move from doing to being, and from fear to creation. I left feeling renewed, peaceful, and inspired to give back. Receiving this scholarship increased my desire to help others. Next year, I can’t wait to bring someone with me and sponsor their experience.” - Ivanka
“I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the Donors of The Kabbalah Centre for their financial support. Thanks to your generosity, many students —myself included— received a scholarship with a percentage discount for the Rosh Hashanah connections.
This support made it possible for me to attend in New York, something I deeply longed for, since I am retired, and this year I had the great desire to be with Michael Berg, to join as a Warrior of Light and help the world generate a shift in consciousness and Light ✨, sharing it with all beings on this planet.” - With heartfelt thanks, Leah Linda
“I’ve been a student of the Kabbalah I’ve been a student of the Kabbalah Centre for about 30 years, so you might think I’m biased when I say how powerful the Rosh Hashanah experience is…I mean I have gone many times. But the truth is, every single year I still have to choose to go. Each year brings its own obstacles to saying yes—work, finances, kids, or just life—and there’s always that moment where it would be easier to skip it. Yet every year I make the choice to go, I’m so grateful I did. This year was no different.
In fact, the effort it took us to get to New York made it even more meaningful. I had no idea how I was going to make it happen. So, when we arrived and were greeted by the incredible staff and friends from all over the world, there was such a palpable sense of joy, unity, and purpose. Standing in that beautiful room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the river, I felt deeply connected—to the Light, to the community, and to something bigger than myself. The moments when the shofar was blown—usually a time of meditation and reflection—was especially powerful for me this year. The sound this year was melodic and stirring, filling me with anticipation for starting my spiritual work ahead. My heart opened in a way it hasn’t before, and that feeling of openness is what I’m carrying into the new year: excitement, commitment, and joy for the journey ahead.
This year also brought financial challenges, and I wasn’t sure I’d be able to go. But one of the beautiful things about the amazing Kabbalah Centre community is there is always someone willing to help and share so that others can do their spiritual work. Thanks to the generosity of these sponsors who helped make it possible for me and my son to attend, I could say yes. I’m deeply grateful for that support, and I look forward to paying it forward so that others can have the same experience—because no one who has the desire to connect should have to miss out.
There are few experiences that compare to Rosh Hashanah with the Kabbalah Centre. It’s spiritually deep, joyfully communal, and profoundly transformative. If you’re seeking real change, inspiration, and a joy that carries you through the year, I can only say—go. It will open your heart and your life in ways you can’t imagine.” - Wendy
