When you picture a mystical experience, do you see a lone figure alone meditating with the Divine? Inducted into some fringe, solitary pursuit? While this process was often part of elite circles, Jewish mysticism was never outside the mainstream and always required communities of learning. This series explores the development of Jewish mysticism across different time periods and places, getting to know the circles of people driving creative processes. Through seven episodes, Dr. Eitan Fishbane explores the ways in which Jewish mystical practice evolved and how these practices are part of the broader Jewish understanding of God, spirituality, and connection.
