Kabbalah is a Jewish theology built upon the premise that, although God is unknowable, we can experience spirituality by receiving the emanations from this unknowable source. Through these flows of potencies we become partners in ongoing creation, we receive the capability to feel holiness and spiritual connection, we obtain guidance on ethics in our day to day lives and repentance when we sin, and we become discoverers of new ideas, Torah interpretations, aspects of ourselves and understandings of the world around us.
This mini course is a continuation of the May 25th Introduction to Kabbalah. New students are welcome but might want to listen to the video of the first class and review its handouts. The video and handouts can be obtained at (22S3) Exploring Kabbalah – An Introduction (25 May 2022)
