Tu Bishvat Learning from the Zohar, with Rabbi Guy
Wednesday February 12, 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
North Room

"When Rabbi Abba saw a tree whose fruit turned into a bird and flew away, he wept and said: If men only knew to what these things alluded, they would rend their garments down to their navels because this wisdom is now forgotten." We'll see what we can recover through an in-depth discussion of what comes next in this passage from the Zohar -- no experience with the Zohar necessary! This will not be a Tu Bishvat Seder, but rather an extended exploration of mystical ideas with study, song, and sacred snacks. Registration is appreciated but not required here.
