Briefly in the news

Renowned Jewish mystic Rabbi Laibl Wolf will bring his teachings to

the Hyatt Newporter on Thursday for an evening sponsored by the Chabad

Jewish Center of Newport Beach.

Wolf, the son of Polish Holocaust survivors, is a lawyer who has been

teaching the Kabbalah around the world for the past decade. He draws on

the 4,000-year-old texts for answers to problems common today.

Wolf will focus his talk on what the Kabbalah is, how it compares to

Eastern traditions, how it can be used in business and how it can aid

family relationships.

The lecture will take place at 7:30 p.m. at the Newporter, 1107

Jamboree Road, Newport Beach. A donation of $18 is suggested.
