Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) teaches that

we live in four dimensions or “worlds”–

the worlds of the body, heart, mind,

and spirit. There is a rich tradition of

kabbalistic meditation in all four. Join Rabbi

Ben Newman on a meditative journey

towards relaxation and balance in each

of these dimensions. Participants should

dress comfortably in clothes that allow for

light movement. Advance registration is

requested but not required.
