  • Madonna may have popularized Kabbalah in the twenty-first century, but the study of this mystical spiritual wisdom has been ongoing for centuries. Beyond the red string and celebrity appeal, what is the significance of Kabbalah for us today? Join Dr. Daniel C. Matt, an award-winning scholar of Kabbalah and the Zohar, the principal text of Kabbalah. Among Dr. Matt’s numerous other publications are the best-selling The Essential Kabbalah (translated into six languages); Zohar: Annotated and Explained; and God and the Big Bang: Discovering Harmony Between Science and Spirituality. This event was held as the Gerson D. Cohen Memorial Lecture at The Jewish Theological Seminary.
