Rabbi Yom Tov Glaser offers a riveting exploration of the sacred feminine within Jewish tradition and Kabbalah. Drawing on a personal letter from his wife, he introduces the idea of feminine power as “hiddenness”—a protected, interior flowering that empowers the masculine while retaining its own integrity. From there, he unpacks core Hebrew terms at the heart of Jewish prayer—Baruch (drawing down through humility) and Atah (“You,” the intimate address to the Divine)—to show how lowering the ego allows the soul to rise and encounter God directly.

Rabbi Glaser maps the Divine names to a masculine/feminine dynamic: the transcendent, causal Name that “surrounds” reality and Elohim, the immanent presence that “fills” creation—often associated with the Shechinah, the feminine Divine Presence. He then reframes Shabbat as the “Sabbath Bride,” a weekly shift from six days of doing (masculine) to a seventh day of being and receiving (feminine). Along the way he demystifies practices like tefillin (seven wraps for the seven feminine qualities) and tzitzit (threads that keep us oriented amid the “four directions”), and guides a short meditation on oneness—inviting viewers to feel enveloped by the Shechinah.

Blending storytelling, scholarship, and guided practice, the talk weaves themes of tribal identity, spiritual resilience, and ethical action—elevating the “angelic” potential in everyday deeds. Whether you’re steeped in Jewish learning or newly curious, this lecture opens a doorway into a lived mysticism where humility, unity, and receptivity reveal the Divine within and all around.
