SUMMARY:Finding God in the Material World
DESCRIPTION:\nwith Daniel Matt (Graduate Theological Union – Berkeley)\nH
 ow can God be encountered in our daily life? Dr. Matt will explore this qu
 estion with us by teaching passages from Kabbalah and Hasidism on the natu
 re of God\, the act of Creation\, and the challenge of discovering God in 
 the material world.\nDaniel Matt is a&nbsp\;scholar&nbsp\;of Kabbalah and 
 the Zohar. Among his books are:&nbsp\;The Essential Kabbalah&nbsp\;(transl
 ated into seven languages)\,&nbsp\;God and the Big Bang\, and his 9-volume
 \, annotated translation of the Zohar (The Zohar: Pritzker Edition)\, whic
 h has been hailed as “a monumental contribution to the history of&nbsp\;
 Jewish&nbsp\;thought.” In 2022\, Daniel’s biography of Elijah the Prop
 het was published in Yale’s&nbsp\;series&nbsp\;Jewish&nbsp\;Lives: Becom
 ing Elijah: Prophet of Transformation. This book was awarded the inaugural
  Rabbi Jonathan Sacks Book Prize\, established by Yeshiva University. Dani
 el lives in Berkeley and currently teaches Zohar online (danielcmatt.com).
