Course Description: The Relationship Between Nature and the Divine: With the Hasidic master R’ Tzvi Elimelech Spira of Dinov (1783 – 1841 known as the Bnei Yissascher) as our guide, we will explore the spiritual work of this season, drawing from his insights into this season of inner renewal and preparation for the coming liberation and rebirth of spring.
