Often referred to as the "soul" of the Torah, the Kabbalah is an ancient Jewish tradition that teaches the deepest insights into the essence of G‑d, His interaction with the world, and the purpose of Creation. Kabbalah teaches the essential Jewish cosmology, integral to all other Torah disciplines. Sometimes called "the Inner Torah" or the "Wisdom of Truth", it offers a comprehensive overall structure and plan for the universe and a detailed understanding of the particulars of our lives. The student of Kabbalah is made aware of the personal and collective rectification process and is encouraged to play an active part in it.

This course will study the following four areas of Kabbalah

1. Kabbalah from the Beginning

2. Kabbalah from the Zohar

3. Kabbalah from the Israeli Mystics (16th century Zfat)

4. Kabbalah from the Chasidim
