Rabbi Sandy Seltzer

(Jewish Texts)

The crown jewel of Jewish mysticism, the Zohar is a remarkable text that delves into everything from the structure of the universe to the mysteries of palm reading, offering profound insights into both the spiritual and everyday aspects of life.

Drawing on his deep knowledge of Jewish tradition, mysticism, philosophy, and literature, Rabbi Seltzer brings this intricate work to life through thoughtful discussion and accessible teaching. No prior knowledge of Jewish mysticism is required—just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
