Hymn of the Majestic - Jewish Mysticism in Islamic Persia
How did Jews in Persia participate in Sufism before and after the appearance of Kabbalah? Is Sufism a fundamentally Islamic form of mysticism? And what Sufi influences are still tangible in the practices of Persian Jews today? In this illuminated lecture, Alan Niku seeks to answer these questions while actors from theatre dybbuk read poetry accompanied by music that brings the topics discussed vividly to life.

Presented at The Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles on July 11, 2024. Also available on The Dybbukast.
