Raising the Sparks: Finding G-d in the Material World
How can G-d be encountered in our daily life? Daniel Matt will explore this question with us by teaching passages (in Hebrew and English) from Kabbalah and Hasidism on: the nature of G-d, the act of Creation, and the challenge of discovering G-d in the material world.
Daniel Matt is a scholar of Kabbalah and the Zohar. Among his books are: The Essential Kabbalah (translated into eight languages), God and the Big Bang, and his 9-volume, annotated translation of the Zohar (The Zohar: Pritzker Edition), which has been hailed as “a monumental contribution to the history of Jewish thought.” Recently his biography of Elijah the Prophet was published in the series Jewish Lives: Becoming Elijah, Prophet of Transformation). He currently teaches Zohar online (www.sup.org/zohar/course).
