Forms divide, essence
unites.
Religion is a
psychological archetype.
Religious lessons enlighten us about the collective psychology of all
humanity.
Religion is thus more about man than it
is about God, and that is the way God wants it to be.
Explaining mysticism in light of rationalism.
In-depth classes and
courses in the following fields:
Bible, Orthodox Judaism,
Kabbalah, & Meditation
(We also cover many other topics, from many other fields)
All of our courses are geared towards
removing fundamentalism, extremism, superstitions, and prejudice from religion.
