TAO – Temple Adath Or – is a community of light. A Kabbalah-based community, TAO is led by Rabbi Marc Labowitz, a visionary leader bringing his warmth, wisdom and wit to us at weekly Kabbalah Wisdom Classes.
We are so happy that this week’s special guest is Rabbi Ruz Gulko.
Rabbi Ruz will be lead a discussion on: TESHUVAH: Is It A Mitzvah?
As we prepare ourselves for the holy work of the Days of Awe, let us examine the traditional Jewish underpinnings of Teshuvah, repentance. What are we doing, and why?
