When you think about biblical women, what images and words come to mind? Temptress? Victim? Women subjugated by husbands or fathers? Close textual reading reveals that these stereotypes are incongruous with the actual lived experiences of female characters in TaNaKh. In this course we will gain some new insights into the extraordinary women that populate the pages of our Holy Scriptures.

There is so much more to life than meets the eye! In this introductory course, Foundations of Transformative Kabbalah, we will explore topics like unseen reality, how the infinite and the finite hold space for the other, the relationship between shattering of the vessels and tzimtzum (contraction), how we find light in darkness - and more.
