This is not a traditional biography with a chronological enumeration of dates and places and events, because my husband’s life was not a traditional existence. 

Interwoven with details of his life - and our life together - you will find lessons he taught and ideas he was most fervent about. His every thought and action was part of a larger whole - a profound knowledge of the universe that Philip Berg, who later became known as the Rav, acquired and then imparted. 

As his wife, I look back on this story of our lives together, and I’m reminded of salient moments that defined his character and destiny. I include here events that are representative of his passion and purpose - events that also shaped my own journey, our tumultuous marriage, and the creation of the worldwide network known as the Kabbalah Center.
