The Ḥabura

Join us for a two-part series exploring the Introduction and first section of Hegyonei Uziel, the deeply traditional but original work of Jewish thought written by Rabbi Ben Sion Meir Ḥai Uziel, the first Chief Sephardic Rabbi of Israel. In this book, R’ Uziel connects the soul, and the soul’s connection to God, to a robustly active Jewish life inspired by a vision of human excellence.
