Drunk on God: Yeshua the Hasid

Who was Jesus?

Christians, Jews, and others offer various answers to this perennial question. One plausible answer is that he was a Hasid – a person in love with God, drunk on the divine.

Daniel Matt will explain what a Hasid was in first-century Palestine and how this term applies to Jesus as he is portrayed in the New Testament.

This evening offers a profound Jewish perspective on Jesus of Nazareth. It is held as an online lecture with the renowned Jewish mystic teacher Daniel C. Matt. Daniel is one of the world’s leading experts on Kabbalah and the Zohar. He is a scholar of Kabbalah and teacher of Zohar. He is author of the multi-volume translation, The Zohar: Pritzker Edition, which has been hailed as «a monumental contribution to the history of Jewish thought.»

This lecture will be held in English.

Referent: Prof. Dr. Daniel C. Matt
