(25w6) Introduction to Kabbalah

February 19th, 2025, 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm

 

 

Kabbalah is a Jewish theology built on the premise that, although G-d is unknowable, we can experience spirituality by receiving the emanations from this unknowable source.  Through these we become partners in ongoing creation, we receive the capability to feel holiness, we receive guidance on ethics in our day-to-day lives and on repentance when we sin, and we become discoverers of new ideas, Torah interpretations, aspects of ourselves and understandings of the world around us.

This class will cover such topics as:

  • Understanding Evil, sin and repentance through Kabbalah
  • The Kabbalah of shabbat observance and prayer
  • Kabbalah in weddings, funeral and mourning rituals
