In their commentaries on Torah, the early Hasidic masters reveal a different and deeper spirituality than most traditional commentaries. Their teachings reveal a belief that Divinity is found in all things, as is Divine goodness, love and compassion, and that each passage of Torah offers guidance for our own spiritual growth.
In each class we will study three or four teachings on the Torah portion of the week with two goals in mind: to understand the deep ideas and spiritual teachings of the Hasidic world, and to explore how these ideas and teachings might enrich our own spiritual lives.
No prior Jewish knowledge is necessary. All you need to bring is your curiosity. All texts will be studied in English, and will be sent to students in advance.
