JLI Charlotte Introduces "The World of Kabbalah"

October 2023

A Six-Week Journey Into the Mystical Teachings of Judaism And How It Relates to Us in Real Life

Have you ever wondered what is Kabbalah and why it generates so much interest? Perhaps you’ve wondered how Jewish spirituality works and how it can help navigate the daily challenges of life.

Jewish Learning Institute of Charlotte is introducing a new course, “The World of Kabbalah,” to find the answers to those questions.

Many Jews searching for spirituality are intrigued by Kabbalah. They wonder if the centuries-old esoteric study can illuminate some of their ontological questions or contemplative thoughts.

The cryptic language in the formative works of Kabbalah makes its secrets nearly indecipherable to the uninitiated. “The World of Kabbalah” introduces key terms and concepts to open the door to study further.

The journey into the mystical will provide a comprehensive overview of Kabbalah’s core teachings and explore how these ideas offer powerful insights into everyday life, self-understanding, and personal growth.

Chabad of Charlotte will begin this special journey on Tuesday, Oct. 31, with a six-week introduction to Kabbalah that will give you a comprehensive understanding of the core ideas and key terms behind Judaism’s best-kept secrets. We will bring Kabbalah’s profound spiritual ideas down to earth. We will see how Kabbalah’s understandings of G-d, the soul, and the universe unlock powerful new perspectives to guide us through everyday challenges, from highstakes decision-making to stronger relationships and confronting adversity.

There are other courses out there on Kabbalah, but none that strike this perfect balance. You’ll go straight to the sources to learn about Kabbalah’s answers to the big questions of G-d, life, love, and the universe, while getting a comprehensive handle on what Kabbalah is and why it generates so much interest.

Each of the six lessons shows you why these mystical ideas matter to you and how you can see the divine dynamics we discuss, which are playing out right before your eyes in your own life.

Participants in this course will be furnished with easy-to-read textbooks with colorful diagrams as well as many fun-filled facts about Kabbalah.

The six evening classes will be held starting Tuesday, Oct. 31 at 7:30 p.m. through Tuesday, Dec. 5. Morning classes will begin on Wednesday, November 1 at 11 a.m. and go on through Wednesday, December 6. All classes will be held at the Epstein Family Chabad Center, 6619 Sardis Road in Charlotte.
