In our Level I Soul class, we explore how the energy of two woman facing each other helps to frame our understanding of the concept of Kabbalah as a study of parallels. This semester, we will dive deeper into this notion. Where else do we find this phrase in the Torah? In what other ways is the feminine aspect of the Divine taught in Jewish mystical tradition? From the Shechinah, to other feminine aspects of the sefirot, we will elevate female scholars, voices and perspectives in our study of Transformative Kabbalah. All are welcome.

Classes are offered in-person and virtually through Zoom:
  • Mondays 9:00-10:15am Mountain Time / 11:00-12:15pm Eastern Time (Class meets: September 23, 30, October 7, 14, 21, 28, November 4, 11, and 18)

      A Modern-Day Kabbalist: The Teachings of Reb Zalman Shachter-Shalomi. I first encountered Reb Zalman in 1986 when he was living in Philadelphia. Our relationship deepened when our paths crossed again in Colorado. Reb Zalman dedicated the opening of Kabbalah Experience in south Denver in 2010. Reb Zalman and I had numerous discussions about spiritual teachings, with particular focus on Kabbalah and Chassidut. This course will draw from my personal relationship with him, his voluminous writings, the “Reb Zalman papers” housed at the University of Colorado, Boulder and his public talks available on You Tube. We will also view the documentary The Jew in the Lotus which portrays Reb Zalman’s relationship with the Dalai Lama.

      What is Music?  Why is sound and music so central to practically all known cultural and spiritual traditions? What is the connection between music and prayer?  Between music and community-building? How can music help us add even more meaning to our lives and joyous awareness to our souls?
