Coffee & Kabbalah Class - Shabbat Morning

 WEEKLY CLASS:

Coffee & Kabbalah

The more we learn, the more we realize
there's so much more we want to know!

 

What is Kabbalah & Chassidut? 

Kabbalah and Chassidut are the continuation of a millennia old heritage of Jewish study that peers below the surface to uncover the deeper meaning behind existence, G-d, human life, individual & global purpose, with a broad perspective on the past, present and future. 

If Torah text would be compared to the body, then Kabbalah would be compared to the soul within. 

Join us for Coffee & Kabbalah and come away with greater understanding and a new zest for living your life with positivity, happiness, harmony and a sense of achievement.

Everyone is welcome. No prior knowledge necessary!

When?
Shabbat mornings at 9:00 am (1 hr class).  

Come and join us!

Led by Rabbi Yitzchok Schmukler

'The Nine Days' starts next week

Shabbat, July 10, 2021 is the first day of the month Av.  

The first nine days of Av are days of mourning for the destruction of the first and second Holy Temples. Among other observances, during this time we refrain from eating meat or drinking wine (except on Shabbat), swimming or bathing for pleasure, remodeling or expanding a home and buying new clothes.

The Nine Days culminate in the fast of Tisha B'Av (The Ninth of Av) on Sunday, July 18, 2021.
