Artykuł przedstawia Instytut Studiów i Badań Kabały Bnei Baruch (nowy ruch religijny) pod kątem ewentualnych zbieżności pomiędzy jego nauczaniem a nauczaniem Jezusa Chrystusa. Badana możliwość ustanowienia korespondencji między jedną a drugą doktryną jest interesująca, gdyż kabała „synów Barucha” nie przynależy ani do tradycji chrześcijańskiej, ani do żadnej innej tradycji religijnej. Stwierdzenie takich zależności pociąga za sobą kwestię motywacji oraz potrzeb ukazywania wspólnego rdzenia obydwu systemów nauczania. Fundament korespondencji oparty został na obecnym pośród członków Bnei Baruch przeświadczeniu, że kabała jest procesem zmierzającym do osiągnięcia tego, co Jezus określił jako dwa najważniejsze przykazania: „Będziesz miłował Pana, Boga swego, z całego serca swego i z całej duszy swojej, i z całej myśli swojej” oraz „Będziesz miłował bliźniego swego jak siebie samego” (Mt 22, 36-39).

This article explores possibilities of identifying similarities between the thesis propagated by the Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Education and Research Institute (new religious movement) and the teaching of Jesus Christ. Finding any would be very interesting, since the kabbalah of the “sons of Bnei Baruch” belongs to neither Christian, nor any other religious tradition. Potential similarities would certainly pose questions about the motives and common sources of both systems. Members of the Bnei Baruch group are convinced that kabbalah aims the process of fulfilling what Jesus described as the two most important commandments: “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. (...) You must love your neighbour as yourself” (Mt 22,36-39).

In the paper I present the Bnei Baruch’s interpretation of the biblical story of creation (from the Book of Genesis), especially of the category of the “days of creation”. This doctrine is a small part of the whole system of Bnei Baruch “Kabbalah”. The commentary of the creation account is radically different from the classical theological interpretation. Bnei Baruch’s optics is the example of an nonliteral exegesis, but even in this one can clearly see its exceptionality. The key-categories around which the whole interpretation is focused are the ideas – in some way philosophical and psychological – of the “will to receive” (egoism) and the “will to bestow” (altruism). The “days of creation” characterize here the process of human correction, they are the stages of the tikkun, where the final stage is the so-called equivalence of form with the Creator. According to Bnei Baruch, the biblical words do not describe the physical world but deal with the “upper” reality – the spirituality. On the strength of this statement it is said that the language the whole Bible is written in is the “language of the branches” (while the spiritual realm is the root).
