Study, interact and grow with Rabbis Marc and Phillip Labowitz as we explore together the universal topic...

The Spiritual Approach to Relationships
Intimacy is Not for Lovers Only
 


Intimacy is... Our intention behind everything

Behind every Kabbalistic text is intimacy, the union with God.  Intimacy with anyone (a partner, a child, a friend) mirrors a Great Devine Union.  Our desire for intimacy is supported by our existence and desire to connect with God.

Intimacy is... The reason we were created
We desire to connect and to feel connected.  We wish to be unafraid to show ourselves openly and honestly to the world, to be loved for who we are, as we are... all the time.  We search to find someone to share this with... allowing us to manifest intimacy in our physical lives.

Intimacy is... More than finding a partner
While finding a partner is the most discussed emotional yearning, it is not the only intimacy that our souls crave. Kabbalah teaches that intimacy is the power and reason behind everything and can be cultivated in all of the relationships in our lives. The underlying truth is that when we create intimacy with others - friends, lovers, business relationships, children - we are fulfilling that deepest desire to create intimacy with God as well.

  • Friday night service
  • Mikvah (a ritual bath used for spiritual purification) on a beach on a private island in the Caribbean
