    Mystical Insights on Passover and the Seder

    Monday, Mar 31st 7:00p to 8:15p
    The exodus from Egypt is central to Jewish theology, our great liberation experience. In this two-part class we will unpack some key kabbalistic understandings of the exodus: How can we use speech and sound to initiate redemption? How can we eat in such a way as to lead to liberation rather than enslavement? What does it mean to clear out the leaven from our lives? What is the Seder really trying to enact? Come find out, as we study texts from the Sefer Yetzirah, the Zohar and contemporary mystical commentators.

    Engaging the Spiritual Energy of our Hebrew Months with Poetry and Reflection

    Tuesday, Apr 1st 7:00p to 8:30p
    Our Jewish calendar is a spiritual road-map for Judaism’s two core spiritual practices tikkun olam (repairing the world) and tikkun hanefesh (repairing our souls). Each month is rich in kavanot (intention, direction, and mindfulness) for our personal and collective spiritual work. After looking at the parashot (Torah portions), holidays, historical events, and mystical teachings connected to each month, participants will have the opportunity for personal reflection. We also will delve into poetry and prayers connected to the month’s kavanot. Taught by Ed Kass and Valerie Singer. Join Zoom meeting here: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83608689636
