The Spirit of Prophecy August 13, 2007

This year marks the 300th anniversary of the birth of the great Italian Kabbalist Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto (the Ramchal). In honor of this occasion this class will explore selected passages from some of the Ramchal's least known Kabbalistic works. The emphasis will be on teachings about Divine Inspiration (ruach hakodesh) and prophecy. According to the Ramchal, prophecy is primarily a deep experience of connection (d'vekut) or alignment with the Divine, where one gains a clear insight into the purpose of Creation. He teaches that this prophecy is attainable by everyone.
