SPIRITUAL PRACTICES
OF THE BESHT
Rabbi Ruth Gan Kagan
What can we learn about ourselves and our lives from the Ba'al Shem Tov (also known as the Besht), the founder of the Chasidic spiritual revolution in Judaism?
In this course, we will explore the teachings and practices of this shaman/medicine man (this is what it means to be a "ba'al shem") and enrich our daily reality with his wisdom and inspiration.
The Besht was a great Kabbalist, a gifted healer and revolutionary teacher of Torah who opened new pathways for millions of people.
Join students from around the world as we learn, practice and support each other in our ongoing journey of inspiration and growth.
MAIMONIDES' MIDDLE WAY
Dr. Mira Neshama Niculescu
Did you know that Maimonides wrote a classic work of self-understanding and self-improvement?
His Eight Chapters (Shmoneh Prakim) were written as introduction to the Ethics of the Fathers (Pirkei Avot) and they offer us a practical path towards clarity, balance and healing.
Maimonides was a giant of Jewish thought and practice, as well as a master of Greek philosophy and medicine, and has tremendous wisdom to offer our bodies, minds and souls.
Join our international community of students supporting one another in learning, reflecting upon and applying his insights to enhance our daily lives.

ANA B'KHOACH -
KABBALISTIC SECRETS OF ASCENT
Rabbi Ruth Gan Kagan
Ana B'Khoach is an ancient mystical chant, used by many great Kabbalists, that encodes the mysterious 42-letter name of God.
In this online course, taught by Rabbi Ruth Gan Kagan, we will explore the power of this chant like spiritual detectives, discovering a new layer of meaning in each class.
As we study and chant Ana B’Khoach together, we will encounter deep insights into the nature of reality and a wealth of mystical and kabbalistic practices, ranging from simple ones for everyday use, to advanced ones for those who are further on along the mystical path.
