Lesson Description

Rav Isaac Luria, the Ari, reveals how the righteous move through three stages of relationship with the Creator and how prayer is the tool for this direction, a way of channeling endless Light into the specific places of life where we can actually receive it. The Ari also teaches that the righteous are like self-seeding plants, and how the Light they reveal keeps growing long after they are gone, which is why their work still nourishes us today. Yosef Grundman explains that it is important to see ourselves as partners with the Creator and to act with the awareness that every positive action can outlive us, even when no one is watching.

About This Course

Isaac Luria, who came to be known as The Ari (meaning ‘Lion' in Hebrew) because of his prodigious capacity for spiritual study and understanding, was a 16th century kabbalist who delved deeply into the mystical wonders of the Zohar. Commonly considered the father of contemporary Kabbalah, the Ari produced a historic commentary on the Zohar that removed many of its layers of complexity. His teachings created some of the most important kabbalistic ideas and practices used today, including the concept of tikkun, or correction of the soul. Join us for a consciousness-expanding course as we demystify the seminal writings of the Ari and connect with his righteous soul.
