Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi
Description
Before the Dalai Lama invited Reb Zalman to meet with him in India to explain the secret of the Jewish people’s survival in the diaspora, we had the great pleasure of having the founder of the Jewish Renewal movement as a guest and presenter at our 1984 YRS Conference.
If you haven’t experienced the charisma and joy of this modern day Hasidic master in person, this wonderful DVD will give you an unforgettable taste of Reb Zalman at his best. He sings and explains and enchants as he weaves together the teachings of eastern religions with the traditions of ecstatic Judaism. Through his eyes, you find a new way of looking at the spiritual Universe we all inhabit.
Born in Poland in 1924, and raised in Vienna, Austria, he was imprisoned in a camp by the Vichy-French government. In 1941 he came to the United States and entered the Lubavitch Yeshiva where he was ordained in 1947.
He received a Master of Arts in Psychology of Religion from Boston University in 1956, and a Doctor of Letters from Hebrew Union College in 1968. His interest in the universality of spiritual truths led Reb Zalman to study with Sufi masters, Buddhist teachers, Native American elders, Catholic monks and Humanistic and Transpersonal Psychologists.
He is a prolific author. A Heart Afire: Stories and Teachings of the Early Hasidic Masters is his newest work.
Time: 1 hour:08 minutes
