Join Rabbi #Booth on Zoom for a monthly exploration into the secrets of #Jewish mysticism and its view of the Divine.
In the time of the #Zohar, a crisis of faith was tearing the meaning out of Judaism and faith.
Shimon bar Yochai and his fellows gathered in a field to bring healing and Divine connection back into the world, By studying their words, we too will look to form our own theolog(ies) as we join in the mission of bringing meaning and faith into the darkness.
Three religions, living side by side peacefully, today and everyday.
That's what Jerusalem represents, that's what Israel represents.
We will continue to protect freedom of religion for all.
Just like it says in the story:
“They baked matzah from the dough that they
had brought out of Egypt, because it hadn’t
become chametz—because they had been chased
out of Egypt and didn’t have a chance to stick
around waiting for the dough to rise.
Matzah
THIS matzah that we eat, what’s it all about?
It’s because the dough of our ancestors hadn’t
had enough time to rise, when suddenly the King
of the kings of kings, the Holy One Blessed Be He,
revealed Himself to them and liberated them.
It was because Pesach means to skip over. And the One Who Encompasses Everything skipped over our ancestors’ houses in Egypt. When we were about to leave Egypt, Moses told us how to explain eating matzah on Passover to future generations. He said:
You shall say, “It is a Pesach offering to God, because He skipped over the houses of the Children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians with a plague, and He saved our houses.”
