THE ONE-DAY WORKSHOP
Build a day of mystic study around two central themes:
Know
What Is Above Us:
Mystic Secrets in the Universe
Recover the meaning of magic and miracle in the
Bible. Discover how mystics
view the Torah and the Prophets. Take a ride on Ezekiel's visionary chariot.
Experiment with Abulafia's prophetic meditations. Envision the sefirot
as a Jewish mandala. Encounter the real meaning of tikkun olam.
Know What We Must Do:
Building a Mysticism for Modern Jews
Explore the ways in which Jewish magical and mystical movements have
connected with the world in which we live. Is it possible for us to receive
the age-old traditions of Kabbalah and, at the same time, to connect
them with Jewish life in the twenty-first century?
