Destiny vs. Free Choice
When we make choices in our lives, are they really free? Could we really have chosen differently? Are we driven by birth, upbringing social circumstance or by something that is uniquely our own? How much does G‑d plan things, and what does he leave to us? Join us as we explore some interesting perspectives on these questions from the mystical teachings of the Kabbalah.
