I aspire to know Hashem and his creation as acutely as possible. To help realize his will for the cosmos.
Brian HarrisParticipantGreetings all! I am a graduate student who lives in Boston and is in the course of completing a M.Ed. degree; I hope to teach high school History after completing my practicum next semester. I am a Catholic by upbringing who has long been an avid reader of world religions and philosophical traditions. I am currently in an ongoing process of inquiry concerning conversion to Judaism, which I regard as especially subtle and profound in its way of cleaving to G-d.
I feel a strong affinity with the thought of figures like the Rambam and Ibn Gabirol, and am learning as much as I can about the great masters of Safed (Cordovero, Luria, Vital) as well as the Hasidic masters. I hope to gain more hands-on experience through engaging with the teachings of Baal HaSulam so that I can integrate these interests into the movements of prayer and the devotional life.

I desire to learn more about the divine nature and the truths of existence.
