The Future of Judaism And The Evolution Of

Consciousness

August 13-19 – Contemporary Kabbalah Week

In this time of crisis, we need a way of seeing the world that allows our choices and actions to come from a high level of awareness. For Jews and Judaism to be able to respond to this necessary shift in consciousness, we need find a way to thoughtfully transcend and include the essential elements of our tradition.

In this class we will explore the transformational teachings of the Baal Shem Tov and his disciples, as well as contemporary voices speaking for a new level of consciousness. We will also explore practices that can support this evolved state of awareness, illuminating the relationship between creation and divinity.
