Endorsements
“
For centuries, the wisdom of Kabbalah has been concealed: too well hidden. Now, JLI offers all seekers the opportunity to discover the profound insights of the Jewish mystical tradition. This course will deepen your understanding of G-d, Torah, and self. Highly recommended.

“
The course Kabbalah and the Hidden Architecture of You delves into some of fundamental concepts and symbols that have informed the Jewish mystical tradition on the nature of the human self. Drawing on the rich legacy of the kabbalah and Chasidism, particularly as expressed in the Chabad tradition, the student will be exposed to the intricate mysteries of the world and of the soul that impart knowledge of the transcendence of the infinite essence manifest in the immanence of the finite universe of space and time.
