Fundamentals of Kabbalah and Chassidut - The Spiritual Geography of the Land of Israel - Part 5

Continuing our series on the Spiritual Geography of the Land of Israel, this class provides a comprehensive survey of the land, traveling from the snow-capped peaks of the North to the desert craters of the South. We explore the central ridge that defines the country's spiritual backbone, visiting ancient holy sites and uncovering the biblical and mystical significance of the names given to these locations.
