This class will explore the spiritual foundations of peacemaking in ourselves and in the world through an examination of the core kabbalistic principles of hospitality, self-awakening, reconciliation and creative response to conflict.
Using ritual, text study, practical kabbalah and storytelling, Rabbi Lynn will engage participants in a meaningful encounter with Jewish non-violence as a way of life.
Open your heart and soul to becoming a Shomer Shalom (Guardian of the Peace) through the kabbalah of peacemaking.
During the Masters of Contemporary Kabbalah Week August 13-19, 2007
