IN THE EARLY ’80s, a small group of companions decided to read Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi’s (Warren Kenton) book, Adam and the Kabbalistic Tree. We met every Tuesday evening around 8 p.m. in our home at Greencroft Gardens to read a chapter of this book, paragraph by paragraph, sharing comments, observations, or gleaned insights. Sometimes the conversations were so rich we would cover one or two pages. On many occasions, Warren would join us and sit on the sofa listening to us reading his book. At times, when we came upon more complex passages, and couldn’t work them out, we were able to say, “Warren, what do you mean by this?” He would then explain. Over the years we also read A Kabbalistic Universe under his watchful eye.
In this manner, Joanna and I would like to invite you next term to join us in reading Kabbalah: The School of the Soul, when we can discuss and share our observations as we proceed, allowing the pace of the session to be dictated by the dynamic of the conversation and insights: Schools of the Soul provide teaching and companionship for seekers on the spiritual Path.
Before our first session this of term, we ask all participants to read a chapter or two ahead so the material is not new and any questions/observations that come up in private reading can be discussed.
In preparation can you please read and contemplate:
Figure 1: Rabbinic School
Figure 2: Tree of Life
Preface
Figure 3: Separation
Introduction
Figure 4: Four Worlds
Figure 5: Jacob’s Ladder
Chapter 1: Natural Setting
We may not cover all the above in one hour but it is good to ponder what lies ahead. May we all learn something new as we read together.

We ask you to uphold regular attendance for our readings to help us form a group vessel over this period. We thank you for your consideration.
