About
Chaim Apsan
Chaim Apsan is an author and teacher, who has studied Kabbalah for over 9 years. Growing up as a Baal Teshuva he was always intrigued by the difficult questions that could not be answered by the revealed Torah such as “why are Tefilin black?”, “what is it with so many laws all the time?” and “Does Hashem’s involvement in the world follow a systematic pattern?”

Learner
Born in Brazil, Chaim studied Business at FGV-EAESP, then did a master’s program in International Management.
During his early days to understand Hashem’s ways, Chaim moved to Israel with his wife, to Giv’at Shaul. There, he happened to study the Kabbalah of the Rashas’h (Rabbi Shalom Sharabi) in a Kabbalistic Yeshiva in Bnei Brak with outstanding and inspiring colleagues.
After moving to Jerusalem, he began working with Digital Marketing founding his agency Super Kosher Sites, but deep inside he always felt like imparting this valuable transformative wisdom of Kabbalah. Thus he continued studying it assiduously to become a teacher and mentor.
Why Learn With Chaim?
Chaim realized that experience is the highest form of knowledge, and seeks to teach in a way that’s easy to grasp, readily applicable, and useful to his students.
Learning with him offers a unique blend of emotional depth and enjoyable engagement. His teachings, which are all based on authentic Jewish sources, resonate with individuals at all stages of spiritual understanding, inviting them to explore the captivating realm of the wisdom of Kabbalah.
This journey not only addresses important life questions but also initiates a life-changing process of self-transformation.
Beliefs
Beneath Chaim’s cheerful approach lies a well of sophisticated knowledge grounded in classical sources from Kabbalah and Chassidut.
As part of his core beliefs, Chaim believes we must gaze into the depths of our misconceptions, uncertainties, and apprehensions, and dare to question the very frameworks of our convictions about Hashem.
Hashem is closer, more loving, more compassionate, and much more accessible than people give Him credit for. Ultimately (and even primarily!) all is for the best, we only need to flip our mental switches to grasp this truth.
Remarkably, the wisdom of Kabbalah has the transformative power to make our perspectives on both Hashem and ourselves evolve and grant us the ability to tap into wellsprings of personal empowerment that were left thus far unexplored in our souls.
This is Chaim’s mission with his blog and classes.
