Scholar Shabbat: Shabbat Kiddush

Following our traditional Shabbat morning service, Rabbi Matthew Ponak will enhance our congregational kiddush as he teaches us from his book Embodying Kabbalah.

Rabbi Matthew Ponak’s childhood in Calgary, Alberta, sparked diverse expectations of his future. However, at sixteen, a class on Jewish mysticism changed his life. Since then, he has explored various spiritual traditions, psychological approaches, and denominations of Judaism. Now a teacher and counselor, he helps students uncover their truths, offering accessible teachings and empowering them to thrive. Rabbi Matthew Ponak strives to make Jewish mysticism and wisdom accessible to those who feel disconnected from traditional paths.
