Passover in the Zohar: Job, Pharaoh, and the Smashing of the Demonic Forces

  • Lehrhaus 425 Washington Street Somerville, MA 02143 USA (map)

Embark on a captivating journey into the mystical realms of the Zohar as we examine an esoteric interpretation of the Passover story, in which the Exodus transcends mere "historical" events and ascends into a cosmic battleground. Discover how the tale of liberation from Egypt becomes a mesmerizing saga of cosmic proportions, with Israel (and Job?!?) at the forefront of a divine mission. No prior experience with Kabbalah, Zohar, or demon slaying necessary - all are welcome!
