So, you're curious about Kabbalah.  Why does Madonna wear a string around her wrist?  What is the Zohar about?  And can you get the answer to these questions without checking your healthy  skepticism at the door? 

Learn the answers to these questions at this short, four-session introduction to Kabbalah led by Jay Michaelson, who has been learning and teaching Kabbalah for ten years.  We will focus on the core symbols of the "theosophical" Kabbalah, including the Zohar; the meditative practices of Rabbi Abraham Abulafia; the popularization of Kabbalah through Hasidism; and folk beliefs including golems, angels, demons, reincarnation, even the red string.

Most importantly, no questions are off the table; no beliefs are assumed; and no products will be for sale.  This is the ideal opportunity to learn about the core teachings of Jewish mysticism with no strings attached -- magical or otherwise.  Whether you find it inspiring or merely diverting is up to you.
