Once a year, Jews are invited to expand their consciousness with the aid of a sacred psychoactive substance to dissolve the binary boundaries between human existence. What other special states of consciousness exist within the Jewish mystical tradition? How are they integrated into daily life? Are they congruous in any way with psychedelic experiences? Rabbi Zac explored these questions and more with Dr. Alan Brill, scholar of Jewish theology and spirituality. Read more about Dr. Alan Brill here and his new book.
