JLI Prescott draws on Jewish mysticism to offer a refreshing approach to finding the meaning in all parts of life
Rabbi Elie Filler will lead a six-session course, The Kabbalah of Meaning, beginning 6:00pm, November 5th in Prescott. “We’re addressing the question of meaning in life from a classic Jewish perspective,” he says. “There are questions you answer once in a lifetime. Then there are questions worth revisiting at each stage of life. This topic is in the second category.”
Developed by the internationally acclaimed Rohr Jewish Learning Institute, The Kabbalah of Meaning draws from kabbalistic perspectives to offer a bold, fresh approach to a well-worn topic. “We often think that the most meaningful experiences are distinct from our everyday life,” Rabbi Filler says. “In this course, we’ll see how to better see the profound meaning already there in every breath of life.”
While the course addresses how we can find greater meaning in specific areas of life, its primary message is that all of life’s many disparate activities can add up to a cohesive, meaningful whole. “Life is busy,” Rabbi Filler says. “This is a chance to step back and see how all the seemingly unrelated parts of our lives can add up to a cohesive whole.”
The course’s six sessions combine the study of classic texts with practical applications for modern living. Each session explores one fundamental aspect of meaning and purpose, providing tools that participants can immediately incorporate into their daily lives. “Regardless of your background or previous Jewish learning, you’ll feel right at home at this course,” he says.
The Kabbalah of Meaning is certified for continuing education credits for doctors, psychologists, social workers, LMFTs, and LMHC/LPCs in the state of Arizona.
