OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Raising the Sparks: Finding G-d in the Material World
How can G-d be encountered in our daily life? Daniel Matt will explore this question with us by teaching passages (in Hebrew and English) from Kabbalah and Hasidism on: the nature of G-d, the act of Creation, and the challenge of discovering G-d in the material world.
Daniel Matt is a scholar of Kabbalah and the Zohar. Among his books are: The Essential Kabbalah (translated into eight languages), God and the Big Bang, and his 9-volume, annotated translation of the Zohar (The Zohar: Pritzker Edition), which has been hailed as “a monumental contribution to the history of Jewish thought.” Recently his biography of Elijah the Prophet was published in the series Jewish Lives: Becoming Elijah, Prophet of Transformation). He currently teaches Zohar online (www.sup.org/zohar/course).
