In the second of Brit Olam broadcast, Rabbi Yeshayahu Hollander discusses end-of-the-world prophecies and studies of the mystic aspects of creation.
“WE’RE STILL HERE: End of Time Prophesies” — In the second Brit Olam live internet broadcast, Part 1, Rabbi Yeshayahu Hollander takes note of the fact that we can all see: The world did not end on December 21 2012, as many people feared based on a misunderstanding of the Mayan calendar.
