Rabbi Simon Jacobson
This series will explore Jewish Kabbalistic mysticism through the lives and teachings of four of the most inspiring and influential figures of this ancient wisdom tradition.
Rabbi Moshe Kordovero:The Philosopher Rabbi Kordovero (1522-1570) synthesized all the major topics of mysticism into his classic work Pardes Rimonim (The Garden of Pomegranates) at the age of 27 in 1549. He founded a renowned mystical school in Tzfat, Israel, where many of the greatest mystics of the age studied. We will discuss three of his most influential texts: Ohr Yakar (commentary on the Zohar), Tomer Devorah (teachings on the Thirteen Divine Attributes) and Pardes Rimonim.
