For forty-five years I have taught a broad range of subjects including the development and evolution of Jewish ideas, critical historical and contemporary issues through the lens of rabbinic texts, Jewish thought, and the foundations of Mystical Judaism (Kabballah).
While I enjoy teaching all these subjects, my heart belongs to teaching the Zohar, the primary book of Jewish mysticism, as well as other kabbalistic texts, and the spiritual ideas of Hasidism as found in the writings and Torah commentaries of the Hasidic masters. These works of Mystical Judaism invite us to explore and enrich our own spiritual lives.
For me teaching is an invitation. I’m just the guide on the journey offering others the opportunity to travel with me. I know that on the path together, we will both learn something important.
