02.10.12 Scholar-in-Residence Weekend at LBT
With guest scholar - Professor Daniel C. Matt
Join us as Professor Matt presents - From Kabbalah to the Big Bang: Ancient Wisdom & Contemporary Spirituality Friday evening through Sunday morning: February 10, 11 and 12, 2012
Professor Matt, one of the world's leading authorities on Kabbalah, will introduce us to some of its central themes. On Friday night he will focus on the concept of Shekhinah (the feminine aspect of God) in the context of Shabbat.
In his subsequent presentations, he will show how the Zohar interprets and reimagines the Torah, and how the mystical tradition enables us to discover God in the material world.
Finally, he will address the question of “God and the Big Bang,” exploring parallels between Kabbalah and contemporary cosmology, and seeking to find harmony between science and spirituality.
Join us for all or part of the weekend! (see page 5 of the February / March Bulletin for complete schedule details and to register)
