Course Info
Eli Dorfmam believes that an understanding of Jewish mystical tradition helps one to understand many spiritual concepts expressed in the New Testament. And conversely, spiritual ideas expressed in the New Testament offer greater clarity to many traditional Jewish mystical ideas. The Mystery of God and His Shekhinah I introduces students to the broader topic of Jewish Mysticism. The lecturer explains the Midrashic way of thinking and introduces the audience to a key book in the Kaballah tradition - the Zohar. The course proceeds to outline the concept of Tzimtzum and presents the overview of the system of Sephirot, relating them to the spiritual ideas expressed in the New Testament. Be prepared to look beyond the surface to trace the spiritual ideas through the pages of the Bible and tradition.

Posted 1 month agoVery Insightful, My understanding of the Trinity has definitely widened. The concept of Emanation, as opposed to being created clarifies the divinity of Yesuha The Messiah. Thank You for taking time to teach us this lesson. -

Posted 2 months agoThe content and presenter were amazing. Spoken language was unclear at times and somewhat hard to understand. At times he spoke very fast and low. It was a speeding train whose engine sound faded. That being said it he was very knowlegable and engagind. I am very impressed with his knowledge and pleased he shared it here with me. So much to think about.
