Join us for an in-depth exploration of Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto’s 18th Century masterpiece. This widely acclaimed classic of Jewish philosophy/mysticism provides a clear, concise and brilliantly organized framework for understanding Judaism's approach to life's ultimate issues, such as: The nature of God, free-will, the existence of evil, why bad things happen to good people, the soul, the afterlife, dreams, demons, prophecy, and much more.
