Understanding the Kabbalah
The Kabbalah is Judaism's mystical spiritual path which teaches that our physical world is only one level of reality and that it is possible to achieve higher states of consciousness. We will study passages from Jewish mystical literature in English which describe the true nature of God, our relationship to the Infinite, and the mystical path of awareness. We will also experience Jewish meditative and contemplative techniques designed for spiritual growth.
Rabbi Lavey Derby is the PJCC's Director of Jewish Life and has been studying and teaching Jewish Mysticism for over 25 years.
