Over the course of four sessions, Rabbi Hannah will explore the Baal Shem`s apocryphal persona, based on tales told about him, as well as some of the major themes of his teaching, such as:
- serving the Divine through every action
- seeing the world through a lens of love
- study of sacred text as a vehicle for connection to God Herself
- the importance of healing community
Together we will mine the Baal Shem Tov`s wisdom for strategies that might transform our individual struggles and soften the collective challenges of our time.
