Drawing on the wisdom of Jewish Mysticism, the most basic building blocks of existence are reexamined from the bottom up, revolutionizing our understanding of life, reality, and our place in the world, according to a press release from Chabad.

“What Is?” explores six of the most intriguing questions that have ever challenged mankind:

Is the world real?

Is time travel possible?

Why does evil exist?

Who is G-d?

What is consciousness?

Are we bound by fate?

“I find that many people are looking to deepen their experience of life,” said Rabbi Shaya Gopin, course instructor, “This JLI course invites participants to live more deeply, by deepening their thinking, insight, and awareness of the fundamentals of life and of our universe.”
