Hasidism was a populist Jewish spiritual movement that developed in late eighteenth century Ukraine, and sought to make the wealth of Jewish mysticism radically accessible. Neo-hasidism aims to continue this legacy in the 21st century, connecting people of diverse backgrounds to with transformative power of Jewish mystical traditions. In this course, we'll explore central ideas, questions, and practices in contemporary neo-Hasidism like Jewish panentheism, devotional prayer, contemplative Torah study, and more. Participants will understand how Neo-Hasidism developed, and be empowered to shape the Neo-Hasidic future.
Sliding Scale
This course is available at a sliding scale cost of $126 (the true cost), $99 or $72.
If you can afford the full price, we hope you will choose that option, which allows us to continue to offer lower rates and scholarships to those who otherwise would not be able to access this learning because of financial barriers.
