Online Friday Noon Study Group

The Friday Noon Study Group will NOT meet  on March 31

Starting April 7, and continuing through May, CBI’s Friday Noon Study Group will be reading and discussing Rabbi David Cooper’s God is a Verb:  Kabbalah and the Practice of Mystical Judaism.

Since medieval times, the mystical tradition of Kabbalah was restricted to qualified men over forty—because it was believed that only the most mature and pious could grasp its complexity and profound, life-changing implications. In Rabbi David Cooper’s God Is a Verb, this powerful spiritual tradition, after centuries of secrecy and near-extinction, is explained clearly by one of its most prominent teachers.

Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? How do we get there? These questions have fueled Kabbalists for nearly a millennium. Rabbi David A. Cooper is the first to bring this obscure and difficult tradition to a mainstream audience in a way that gently leads us to the heart of the subject, showing us how to transform profound teachings into a meaningful personal experience—and appreciate fully this great mystical process we know as God.

Rabbi David A Cooper has studied with dozens of teachers in the Jewish world.  His primary teachers have been Rabbi Zalman Shachter-Shalomi and Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach. Rabbi Cooper has written about many of his experiences in seven books and two sets of CDs. His most popular book, God Is a Verb, has been a national best seller, with over 125,000 copies in print in English

Now in its 25^th year, our discussion group meets via Zoom every Friday from 12-1 (see the CBI web site or weekly announcements for a Zoom link).  All are welcome to join us, regardless of their level of expertise or attendance at previous Friday study group sessions.  Copies of Cooper’s book are available at a variety of internet outlets.  If you have questions, please contact Jay Jacoby at jbjacoby@uncc.edu.
