Lesson Description

Join Eitan in this special class as he discusses the holiday of Shavuot and the portions of Bamidbar and Naso.  Bamidbar, meaning "in the desert", prepares the vessel (our consciousness) to receive the Light of Immortality that is revealed on Shavuot.  By understanding how sleep is connected to death and using the tool of teshuvah, we can eliminate the negativity of finite consciousness from our reality.
