For the past 32 years Rabbi Laibl Wolf has been a spiritual mentor and a worldwide
teacher of the mystical side of Judaism. Laibl is a master of, and draws his teachings from,
the 4,000-year-old, esoteric and encrypted texts of the Kabbalah which provides a guide to the
mysteries of cosmic and human consciousness and which is the source for much of the
"new age" wisdom that we are familiar with today.
Although based on the Kabbalah, Laibl's philosophies are modern and progressive, and
facilitate the growth of one's inner spirit in a technologically driven society. Although an
Orthodox Hassidic Rabbi, his teachings are universal, open to people of all backgrounds and
spiritual orientations.
Laibl's teachings focus on personal growth and emotional mastery. He uses the wisdom
contained in the Kabalistic texts to reveal the inner workings of the mind-emotion balance.
While spiritually based, Laibl's teachings are highly pragmatic. Laibl has translated the
complicated Kabbalistic insights into a practical system of application to the minutiae of everyday
life. He is able to help people discover the motivation behind their thoughts and emotions, which
enables them to understand their behavioral patterns. To this end, Laibl has developed the
original system of "Behavioral Kabbalah". which transmutes the ancient mystical
teachings into a pathway of personal fulfillment. His teachings bring his audience to deeper
levels of spiritual enlightenment. He has called his approach MindYoga®.
Addressing groups as divergent as the American Psychological Association, the Fortune 500
convention, and Buddhist monks, he is often the keynote speaker at worldwide conferences such
as the recent "Argentinean Economy and Psycho/Spiritual Solutions" in Argentina.
As Laibl is attuned to the similarities between Eastern spirituality and Kabbalist teachings, he has
met with many leaders of other spiritual communities including an extensive two hour private
session with the Dalai Lama. Melbourne University has appointed Rabbi Wolf as its founding
lecturer in Jewish Mysticism and Spirituality.
Laibl has written and produced a highly regarded series of meditation and self-mastery
audiovisual materials, which are sold internationally, and is the author of the best selling book,
Practical Kabbalah (Three Rivers Press® of Random House, Inc., 1999). He has lectured in
over 350 cities across the globe, and is a sought after speaker, conducting retreats, seminars,
master classes and training programs continually throughout the world. Through his meditation
techniques and MindYoga® approach, Laibl's audiences are able to master their emotions
and empower their lives.
The son of Polish Holocaust survivors, Laibl is also a lawyer and educational psychologist,
specializing in teenage rebellion. He is the Founder and Director of the Human Development
Institute, a foundation dedicated to the progress of humankind through insight and personal
mastery. He received his rabbinic ordination from the Chief Rabbi of Israel, and has studied
under great Hassidic masters, his foremost mentor being the revered Lubavitcher Rebbe,
Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson who was known globally for the passionate wisdom he bestowed
on humankind. Rabbi Wolf lives in Melbourne, Australia with his wife, Leah, and the younger
two of their seven children.
