Explore the secret side of Judaism!
Course Description:
This course is designed to broaden awareness of Jewish “Alternative” Narratives, Beliefs and Rituals. Many of them, offshoots and distortions of Kabbalah, have persisted - often underground to this day. The early curses on Yitzhak Rabinז"ל and Ariel Sharon ז"ל called “Lashes of Fire” are practiced in secret in Israel. Passages from Talmud, Midrash, Apocrypha, and Kabbalah will introduce us to the shadows of the Jewish imagination.
