About the Venue: The Society of Jewish Science Jewish Science is a spiritual movement comparable with the New Thought Movement, authentically and Kabbalistically connected to Judaism. Rather than the paternal God figure encountered in Hebrew tradition, Jewish Science views God as an Energy or Force penetrating the reality of the universe. God is the source of all reality and not separate from but part of the world. The movement was institutionalized in 1922 with Rabbi Morris Lichtenstein’s and his wife Tehilla’s founding of the Society of Jewish Science. Jewish Science shares several principle beliefs with Christian Science and the New Thought movement, and it is intended to function as a counterweight to the Christian elements in both of these movements and strictly maintain its Jewish identity. The movement speaks to a Jew's physical and spiritual health, but does not rule out the importance of medical intervention - unlike Christian Science. Jewish Science also incorporates psychology, and concepts about practical spirituality similar to beliefs developed in the New Thought movement. Thanks to radio broadcasts on WMCA and the establishment of the Jewish Science Interpreter magazine the movement attracted numerous adherents, thereby helping its rise to prominence in the Jewish community. Today the Society's "Home Center" is located in midtown Manhattan, NY. The Center is open to all regardless of religious affiliation. Admission only $10.00 Book and Admission $25.00 The event begins at 7:00 pm and concludes at 8:30 pm For additional Information contact: Terry Katz - Executive Director of Society of Jewish Science 212-682-2626 http://thecenterforappliedjudaism.org Email: [email protected] Kim Kalesti http://www.kimkalestimusic.com/ [email protected] Don Nelson, LCSW Licensed Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst Professional Speaker/Author 212.677.0999 [email protected] www.challengetheleaderinside.com .
