RABBI ELIYAHU YAAKOV
For the past 10 years Rabbi Eliyahu Yaakov has been working to educate and inspire Jews of all backgrounds to take a fresh look at their Jewish heritage from the perspectives of Jewish Philosophy and Kabbalah. With a plethora of parallels and explanatory precision, Reb Eli succeeds in communicating abstract ideas in a clear and meaningful way to the well read student and the newcomer alike.
Reb Eli made aliyah to Israel from New Jersey in 2001 and currently lives in the Old City of Jerusalem where he, along with his family, host hundreds of Jewish travelers and students for inspirational Shabbat meals each year.
Books authored include Shabbos Insights of the Maharal (Targum Press) and Looking Inward: Kabbalistic Self-Help (Self-Published). Reb Eli is currently working on his third book, The Trees In The Forest: Jewish Living In The Context Of Kabbalah, which ventures to bring meaning to Jewish practice by revealing the lofty kabbalistic ideals present in the nitty-gritty of Jewish law and tradition.
