Rabbi Glick’s Spiritual Dimensions of Judaism
A Thursday evening learning opportunity with Rabbi Glick.
Discover the ideas, books, figures, practices, and transformative insights that form the heart of Jewish spirituality.
Sessions will include textual study, discussion, questions and answers, practices, meditations, ritual symbolism, and delving into the lives and teachings of Judaism’s great mystical teachers.
On Thursday, March 5, the topic is “The Chassidim and Reincarnation.”
A description from Rabbi Glick:
Medieval Kabbalah introduced the idea of reincarnation to Judaism. Life is so terribly short and our aspirations so unfulfilled how can there be just one life? Rather, we keep coming back to make repairs to our selves and to our souls. It was a central focus of the Tzfat Kabbalist’s—the Ari—vision that repair, tikkun, is the essential force of the universe. The Chassidim took the teachings about reincarnation and made them a pillar of their spiritual path. They taught how the complex mechanics of reincarnation work in an ordinary life and how they can be relevant to anyone. They told many stories of Chassidic rebbes and masters who could see and speak of their own previous lives or those of their Chassidim.
