Kabalah, Mysticism, and the Mysteries of the World
If traditional belief in God doesn’t excite you, then prepare yourself for some Jewish ideas that are so insightful, so radical, and so modern, that many rabbis tried to suppress them. But they couldn’t. Join Rabbi Diamond on May 7 and learn how ancient insights can transform our lives, whether or not we believe.
Rabbi Diamond’s Sunday morning events have always been entertaining and insightful. This one promises to be the same. We hope to see you there!
THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
For those of you who plan to attend, PLEASE RSVP TO EITHER BROTHERHOOD PRESIDENT BOB SALFI, rsalfi@alumni.stevens-tech.edu OR HERB SHUKIAR, herb@rand.org to know how much food to provide. Our normal bagel brunch fare includes lox, bagels, cream cheese, herring, onions, tomatoes, fruits and other tempting treats.
There is no charge for this event, but we do suggest a $5 donation to help defray the event’s cost.

Tzedakah is always the right thing to do. We know that for sure. Yet sometimes, we need to give to ourselves. That’s what we will be doing for this program: taking the time just for you, and making something, just for you.
Who’s ready to get crafty with me? Let’s have a relaxing evening, which inevitably will include some chatting and possibly a bit of noshing, while we create. These decorative small boxes, filled with personal prompts to you, affirmations, or just plain pretty cards, will serve as a gift to yourself when you might want a moment of inspiration.
Maybe you want to create action cards – “Go to a movie alone and order the large popcorn,” or “Meditate for one hour then journal what I learned,” or “Do one thing on my to-do list.” Maybe you want to create inspiration cards, “Let go,” or “Be brave.” Whatever comes to you during class time will be just right.
No experience needed. Only a willingness to come for fun, and leave inspired.
