With all the online anti-semitism and Jewish conspiracy theories in the dark corners of the internet (thanks, Candace Owens), we decided to take one of the issues head-on and discuss the concept of Kabbalah and its core teachings.
Including:
The history of Kabbalah, its mystical nature, its relationship with traditional Judaism, and the Zohar
The blurred line between Kabbalistic practices and halakhic (legal) practices, as well as the misconceptions and commercialization of Kabbalah in popular culture.
How Kabbalah offers a deeper understanding of the spiritual world and our connection to God.
How it relates to daily Jewish practices and rituals.
The effect Kabbalah has had on Jewish history.
We then go on to this weeks parsha and discuss Isaac and Rebekah’s challenge with getting pregnant and the theme of infertility in the bible, and ultimately the birth of their twin sons, Jacob and Esau.
Please drop us a line at ewjewcationpod@gmail.com with any questions or comments.
We hope everyone has a great weekend!
