Jewish Historical Institute, May 21, 2025
We invitation you to a technological seminar, which Dr. Paweł Fijałkowski will lead!
The judaic and Christian planet have developed a tradition of portraying The temple as a circular structure or -recognizing a broader central thing. These were symbolic images, referring to mystic notions of the planet and ancient beliefs binding perfection to colistism. The dissemination of the mystical imagination of the Temple of Solomon as the central ellipse of creation was 1 of the effects of the improvement of the cabal, which aroused large interest in the Christian world. With the birth of masonry, covering many cabalistic themes, the concept of the Temple was filled with fresh content, it became the guiding subject created by this movement of the image of the past and ethical goals of humanity.
The seminar will be held on 27 May 2025 at 11:00 in the judaic University Hall in Blue Tower (Bankowy 2, entrance from Tłomackie Street) and will not be recorded.
