Kabbalah Study - "The Knowing Heart"

Description: A new Kabbalah Study Group will start on March 1st 2010 for people who are interested in learning the Kabbalah through a Kabbalistic text: “The Knowing Heart” by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto (Ramchal). The group will meet on Mondays from 5:00 – 7: pm for two sets of 12 sessions each.
Rabbi Areyeh Kaplan said about Ramchal: “The author begins with our most basic beliefs regarding the existence of G-d and His purpose in creation, and shows how most of the other important teachings of Judaism are a logical consequence of these concepts. The reader is led from thought to thought, through a dialogue between the soul and the intellect, until the entire structure of Judaism is presented as a logical whole.” As for the author; Rabbi Luzzatto, the RAMCHAL, is considered one of the foremost and most prolific Jewish thinkers of all time.

Learning this book would open new vistas of consciousness for you and could change your perception of your life, if you allow it. It provides a new grasp of the Universe, the “why” and the “what for” and above all conveys an optimistic view of our future in the “big” picture.
Participation in the class will require: a. Purchasing the book: “The Knowing Heart”. b. Since the material is very complexed and introduces new ways of looking at the world and ourselves, consistent participation is an absolute must.
Interested people should call Ziva Moyal, who will be leading the class, at Tel: 751-1442.
Acceptance to the group is dependent upon a prior phone interview with Ziva.
The fee for participation in the group is $60 for 12 sessions. The money will be a donation for the TJC. No one will be turned down because of financial difficulties.
