Sefer Yetzirah

Catalog description

This will be a course in which we read in its entirety one of the earliest works of Jewish mysticism, Sefer Yetzirah, and explore its meanings. We’ll consider the spiritual and philosophical underpinnings of the book, learn about its connection to the later kabbalah, and also discover “practical kabbalah— how mystics might have used this work to transform their consciousness and shape their experience of time, space, and soul.
