Knowledge on the Deeper Side

Hear O Israel

Achieving True Transcendence in Prayer

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

(Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on June 4, 2019)

G-d created a complex universe bursting with wonder, beauty, and awe. But G-d is far beyond all that. Although we exist within the confines of nature, we can reach into the infinite presence of G-d beyond creation. This lesson explores the mysticism and meaning of the Shema prayer, Judaism's ultimate declaration of faith and our portal to a relationship with a G-d who is both transcendent and intimate.
