Entering a Deeper Dimension of Being with Elliot Wolfson

What happens when language reaches its limits? What does it mean to encounter time, the body, or reality itself through a mystical lens? In this wide-ranging conversation with Elliot Wolfson, we move between Jewish mysticism, philosophy, sacred language, comparative mysticism, and the strange ways mystics have understood time and messianism. Along the way, we ask a more practical question: what, if anything, can these ancient ways of seeing actually change about how we live?
