Introduce Yourself to Your Fellow Students

[Tony Kosinec- KabU Instructor]

Introduce yourself to your fellow students. Write a few words about yourself and about what you expect from the course.

[Jo]

Hi, I’m Jo or Jo-anne. My journey in life took me passionately into the role of being a Teacher and Councillor, for over 25 yrs. to aid adults into the art of their own learning.

I am Jewish through my father’s line, (Holocaust Survivor), yet under went the process of becoming a member of my community.  After my father’s passing I travelled around Poland to identify the few glimpses of windows he did tell me were in fact true.

I raised my 2 boys with my now deceased Jewish partner and we were activity involved in our community.

At services, I have experienced those moments with a flash insight into the Torah and how it was speaking us of  personal, local, or world events. Moments within nature I have felt is harmary and interconnectedness. I have always had a thirst for more knowledge and through my need to understanding more I recently have commence exploring the Kabbalah, (various Jewish sources) and reading the Zohar, ( for my own thirst for  spiritual growth, awareness knowing we all all one, creativity, freedom, inner peace) happiness, and holiness.

[Gabrielle]

Hello, my name is Gabrielle and I reside in Oregon.  Throughout my studies, my interest in the Kabbalah has grown continuously along with the intention of one day gaining a deeper understanding of this wisdom.  I am grateful for this opportunity to join others to  learn and study.

[Lucy Lockett]

Hi, I’m Carolyn, I’ve recently started to read some books about Kabbalah and am captivated what seem to such practical yet spiritually advanced teachings so far.  I’d like to continue learning through this study course and perhaps continue from there.

[Brian]

Hi folks,

I’m Brian. I was born Jewish. One of my major studies during my undergraduate years was world religious philosophy. I’ve always been fascinated by religious philosophical as well as historical, archeological origins. I have lived a significant part of my life in Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation. I’ve been involved as a participant and occasional speaker in interfaith events for the past two decades in Southern California. That being said I don’t follow the tenets of any one particular faith. I have my own belief system which I don’t care to impose on others. Many years ago students of mine enrolled me in a beginners course at the Kabbalah Centre located in Beverly Hills, CA. Although I found it to be an interesting experience, I also had some major misgivings regarding some of the precepts that were introduced in this course.

I’m married and I have two beautiful kids. Formerly I was in the entertainment industry and in private business. I’ve been a lifelong martial artist and instructor. I teach pro bono, that is my sedaka (tzedakah). I

I look forward to learning from KabU and getting to know each other.

Shalom/Salam,

Brian
