Pinchas Giller - Some Basic Principles on Kabbalistic Spirituality

Rabbi Dr. Pinchas Giller, Chair of Jewish Studies at American Jewish University (http://www.aju.edu/) presents his Valley Beit Midrash (www.valleybeitmidrash.org) lecture "Some Basic Principles on Kabbalistic Spirituality" at Congregation Or Tzion (www.congregationortzion.org) in Scottsdale, AZ. ABOUT THIS LECTURE: What distinguishes the world-view of the kabbalist from other kinds of Jews? Is kabbalah a form of metaphysics, or is it what the world calls “mysticism?” If it is “mysticism,” what makes it like other forms of religious mysticism? How can conventional Jews incorporate kabbalistic ideas into their religious practice and world-view, and in what ways was this done over Jewish history? This talk will serve the purpose of clarify the role of Kabbalah in Jewish practice and to define the appropriate, as well as the improper uses of Kabbalah.
