After acquiring a strong foundation and structure from these writings, he continued to involve himself with additional works that aim to unravel the mystery of our experience. Included are, Sefer Yetzira and its commentaries, Sefer HaBohir, Sefer HaKuna, Sefer HaTmuna, The Zohar, as well as the writings of The Arizal. Drawing from the reliable wellsprings of wisdom from these great masters, he attained a deeper perspective on the nature of our existence and reality as a whole.
He is also blessed with an uncanny ability to transmit of his wisdom to others in a distinctly coherent and unambiguous fashion.
In Yakov's teachings, he places an emphasis on turning one's perspective inwards to recognize that the answers to all important questions are hiding in plain sight to one who properly analyzes the true nature of their existence.
With the premise that the wisdom of the Torah can solve the mystery of the human existence in this elusive reality, Yakov Kirsh has dedicated himself to decipher the code. Using the Chasidic wisdom, revealed by the Baal Shem Tov, Yakov started gathering the fragments of the puzzle.
Yakov found a particular lucidity in the writings of the 19th century Chasidic master Reb Tzadok HaKohen of Lublin (1823-1900). Yakov immersed himself in the writings of Reb Tzadok, reviewing all the available writings numerous times. He also collected excerpts from his writings, which he found were aiming to explain the core meaning and purpose of life.
