“Heaven on Earth”
Summer mini-course explores Kabbalah of the Holy Temple
 
Heaven on Earth: Timeless Vessels, Timely Lessons
Behind the note-filled cracks of the Western Wall hide ancient secrets waiting to be revealed. Every beam, bracket and building both within and without the Temple Mount hold spiritual significance to which few have been exposed. This summer, learn these secrets when the Jewish Learning Institute course, Heaven on Earth, returns for a three-week Kabbalistic “excavation” of the ancient Temple instruments.
 
“The Temple in ancient times served not only as the heart of the Jewish homeland, but also as the heart of the Jewish people,” said Rabbi Rubin. “While it is not standing today, it still serves as the pulse of the collective Jewish body and that which enlivens the entire Jewish nation,” added Rabbi Rubin. “This summer, through understanding the deeper mystical aspects of the Temple vessels and instruments, we will better connect to our own hearts and selves in a much deeper way.”

 The Kabbala based course will teach tools for self-improvement gleaned from an in-depth study of the spiritual properties of the vessels used in service in the  Holy Temple.  It will explore timeless lessons from the ancient temple that will help students progress in their personal lives and better the world at large. And it will guide students to effectively unite the spiritual with the physical, theory and practice, inspiration with action. Heaven on Earth utilizes the most profound spiritual teachings and the most advanced technology to bring students through the Temple’s service. Utilizing ancient mystical concepts and detailed power point presentations, students will gain a deeper understanding of the spiritual functions of the Temple’s holy items, developing the means to channel the kabbalah of the vessels into their own lives.
