  • Exploring The Soul - 19 - Garments of Light
    Exploring The Soul - Part 19
    "Clothing's Soul"
    (Recorded at the Intown Jewish Academy on July 30, 2017)
    Clothing has much spiritual significance. The ancient mystics note that it is significant that the first gift G-d gave Adam and Eve after the sin was a set of garments. These were not just ordinary garments -- they were "garments of light," fashioned by G-d.
    Ever since we've been following G-d's lead, utilizing physical garments, and working with our spiritual "garments" to bring more light into the world. And as the Kabbalists explain, every garment has its spiritual counterpart, and every fabric has its unique inner energy.
    In this session of Kabbalah & Coffee we'll take a deeper look at the spiritual side of fashion and clothing.
