Summary:

In this revolutionary, thought-provoking book, Kabbalist Rav Berg dares to take on a subject long considered taboo by the medical and scientific establishments. The subject is immortality -- the possibility and even the inevitability of eternal life. Once the province of mystics, the notion of immortality has recently come under scientific scrutiny. New technologies -- including cloning, the mapping of the human genome, and the development of genetically-based therapies for major illnesses -- are appearing every day. The timing of these breakthroughs came as no surprise to the Kabbalists. Two thousand years ago, the sages foresaw these advances -- including the eventual "demise of death." And they specifically cited the year 5760 (2000 in the Gregorian Calendar) for these developments to unfold. Drawing upon the personal story of his own journey toward spiritual enlightenment, Rav Berg shares the compelling Kabbalistic insights into the origins of death, and the spiritual tools necessary for its final disappearance from the world.
