Shabbat Shabbang | God Is Radically Near: Mystical Teachings in Judaism and Islam

The tenets of Islam and Judaism are extremely close, in both language, imagery, and ancestry. This closeness is particularly pronounced in the similarity between their mystical teachings—how both religions describe the indescribable oneness of God. Igal Harmelin is a spiritual director, meditation teacher and seeker. Much of his time during his 40-plus years of committed spiritual search has been devoted to the study of the scriptures and mystical traditions of the world’s major religions.

WHAT IS SHABBAT SHABBANG?

It starts with rituals and appetizers in the lobby. It continues with fascinating and entertaining program offerings, paired with a dairy meal and seasonal wines. We reconvene for delicious desserts and coffee. Your weekend has not just begun. It’s kicked off–with a SHABBANG.

Program offerings subject to change based on registration numbers. All registered guests will be notified in advance if there are significant changes to the program.

Pre-registration required. Space is limited.
