Saadya Notik delivers his thoughts on the weekly Torah portion and events in the Jewish calendar.
Please join me every Mon. evening on 5th Ave. in NYC for an informal class on the weekly Torah portion followed by questions and discussion. We will dive beneath the surface of the Torah's laws and narrative and explore its timeless lessons, drawing on the inner dimension of Torah, namely Chasidus and Kabbalah.
No background in Hebrew or Jewish study necessary. Skeptics welcome.
If you're interested in attending or would like to suggest a topic of interest to you, email me at saadya@notik.com.
Past topics have included bodies and souls, the afterlife, reincarnation, immortality, the Temple within, the convergence of matter and spirit, men and women, world peace, and why it all matters.
