Jewish Mysticism Classes weekly on Wednesdays at 6:00 PM
Starting Wednesday, February 5th, Rabbi Leiah began teaching a weekly adult education class every Wednesday night at 6pm, unless another event is in progress, in person and on Zoom.
The plan is to spend 2-3 months on a single topic before moving on to something else. For the first period, we will be exploring Kabbalah, a tradition of mystical Judaism which has played an enormous role in Jewish theology and practice from the middle ages down to the present day.
The class is designed to be accessible to anyone regardless of their past experience or lack of experience with this material. If you’ve ever been curious about what Kabbalah is and how it connects with modern Judaism, this class is for you!
