Rabbi Stuart A. Paris, Rabbi Emeritus, is a Teacher of Jewish faith
and wisdom, a Spiritual leader and an official at Jewish and Interfaith life
cycle ceremonies. His mission as a
teacher is to teach the love and joy of
Judaism in the Kabbalistic way of Rabbi Joseph H. Gelberman, after the
teachings of Martin Buber and Abraham Joshua Heschel. I teach the highest ideal
of all learning, to live in the image of God by igniting and keeping lit, the
divine light within, with love, inspiration, forgiveness, excitement,
knowledge, and joy.
“It is better to light
one candle than to curse the darkness.”
Hassidic saying
As
spiritual leader, Rabbi Paris strives to teach tolerance, understanding,
acceptance, friendship, gratitude, love, joy and peace among all people from
all traditions. God's perfect number is 8 and these are the 8 steps to ascend
the Kabbalistic ladder to the divine truth and light. "Never Instead,
Always in Addition".
Rabbi
Paris co-founded Interfaithcollege.org, with Rabbi Joseph H. Gelberman, PhD, in
order to teach the basic principles of the world religions, "Truth is One…
Paths are Many", "Kabbalah in Motion", Neo-Hassidism, Modern
Kabbalism and other courses of the soul.
"If I am not for myself, who am I? If I am only for myself, who will be?
And if not now, when?"
Hillel
