Shabbat Message from Rabbi Moshe

Posted on April 25, 2025April 25, 2025 by Reb Moshe

What does spiritual development feel like?

MEDITATIVE SHABBAT SERVICE TONIGHT AT 6:30PM at the Ananda Valley Farm in Half Moon Bay. No livestream. No dinner.

Dear CJC Members & Friends,

If you’ve read my musings over the past couple of years about the kabbalistic ‘Four Worlds’, you’ll know that we give most of our attention to the physical world in order to manage its many and varied demands. I associate this sphere with our Family Chavurah because of its centrality. Bringing our children into a balanced place in the physical world allows for optimal development in the other ‘Worlds’.
