Shalom and Welcome.
Tonight we will look at some of the great Kabbalists of the past and what they teach us about Meditation and the Aleif Beit. For rest of this term we will explore teachings from Sefer Yeztirah, Sulam Aliyah and Shaarei Kedusha of Rabbi Chaim Vital. At this stage, I would call the class, Creating The Tree of Life with Letters. We will learn how each letter is placed in the Tree and its purpose in connecting the Sefirot and their relationships to the flow of Divine energy through the body. We will meditate on clusters of letters that form channels in the different levels of the soul, attempting to unify them as one would create a powerful chord made of many smaller strings.
Look forward to seeing all of you there.
