Sedona AZ (February 19, 2016) – Simcha Rapahel, Ph.D, will present a workshop entitled: Afterlife Journey of The Soul in Jewish Mysticism on Wednesday, March 2, 2016, from 3-5 PM. There is no charge for this workshop.
Within Jewish tradition can be found very extensive teachings on the afterlife journey of the soul. In a creative afternoon of study, story-telling and discussion we shall learn about Jewish views of the afterlife, particularly in the mystical traditions of Kabbalah and Hasidism. 
Dr. Raphael will present the connection between stages of the afterlife journey and Jewish death rituals, and the relevance of these teachings in one’s own encounters with the mysteries of life, death and the world beyond.
