This book contains Reb Zalman’s lectures on a small Sefer written by a twenty-three year old genius named Saul Baumann.
Baumann was a Chabad Chossid who lived in Warsaw, Poland and was killed in the Holocaust. He was educated at both Chabad and Slobodka (a mitnagdishe Yeshivah). Through the lens of Kabbalah, Baumann brings harmony to the opposing traditions of the two communities in which he was trained, i.e. the spiritual heirs to the Vilna Gaon and Reb Shneur Zalman of Liadi.
In his lectures, Reb Zalman shares his thoughts on Paradigm Shift and required updates for spiritual connection to remain alive and relevant within the context of traditional Judaism. Kabbalah is a framework we can build upon to take us into a renewed Judaism.
Zalman shows us how the tradition can help us to reach to the places of discovering Judaism’s path into the future and how we can integrate from those places of shifted paradigms. The updates can connect us in new ways to traditional understandings of Jewish Mysticism.
