Kicking Off the Month at Beit Avi Chai: Tevet 5771

Beit Avi Chai presents Kicking Off the Month–Tevet: Rationalism Versus Mysticism

With: Prof. Rachel Elior: “The Unity of Opposites: Rationalism and Mysticism According to the Founders of Chabad”

Dr. Meir Buzaglo: “Maimonides and the Study of Kabbalah: Notes and Comments”
