"What Jews Think: The Beginnings of Kabbalah"
 Zoom Adult Ed Lecture series

This lecture will be by Dr. Brian Gordon Hillman, assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Towson University. He will lecture on, "The Beginnings of Kabbalah," examining the fundamental theological questions that gave rise to the tradition of Jewish texts and ideas known as Kabbalah. The program historically locates Kabbalah's origins in Medieval Europe and considers how Kabbalah arose, in part, as a response to philosophical conceptions of the Divine. The program will explore some early Kabbalistic texts to understand how Kabbalists understood both the nature of divinity and the relationship between God and the world, with a focus on humanity's place therein.
