12:00 PM: Doors open & schmooze
12:30 PM: Program begins
The Kabbalah has been described by Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz as the official theology of the Jewish People. Sure, everybody has heard of this fascinating mystical system, even Madonna (who goes by “Esther” in her kabbalistic studies), but not many people outside of the Orthodox and specifically Hasidic communities is familiar with its teachings.
Learn about aspects of Kabbalah as they relate to findings of modern science, as well as some 18th century science carried over into the modern era. We’ll cover Rabbi Steinsaltz, Antoine Lavoisier, Bishop Berkeley, Bell Labs, Dr. Samuel Johnson, Vedanta, the Zohar, Sefat Emet, and lots of brain stuff. You’ll participate in a brain experiment. and perhaps even experience a little mind-bending as we go along. Don’t forget to wear your red string! (Just kidding.)
