Join the Emanuel Adult Education Committee on for a virtual lecture on, "Ideas of God in Jewish Mysticism." Guest lecturer is Dr. Eitan Fishbane, professor of Jewish Thought a the Jewish Theological Seminary.

In this session, we will explore the varied ways in which Jewish mystical thinkers have understood the nature and character of Divinity.  Drawing on lyrical and symbolism-infused texts from the Kabbalah of 13th century Spain (especially that of the Zohar), the Kabbalah of 16th century Tzfat, to that of the spiritual masters of modern Eastern European Hasidism, we will study such as ideas as: the Ein-Sof (No End of Infinity); the sefirot as the inner luminous dimensions of God's self, the emanations of a river of heavenly divine light and breath; God as the ultimate fountain of pure compassion/Rahamim.
