Astrology & Astronomy in Judaism - 2

Rabbi Efraim Palvanov

In the second half of this series, we look at the constellations Scorpio through Pisces, as well as the mysteries of Orion, Pleiades, and Ursa Major. We discuss the connection between Ophiuchus and the coming of Mashiach, as well as the Age of Aquarius and the mystical secret of cosmic shemittot. Also explored are the Sphinx Riddle, the visions of Ezekiel and Daniel, and the conversation between God and Job.
