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

    Tuesday, Dec 3rd 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

    Artifical Language

    Wednesday, Dec 4th 7:00p to 8:00p
    Join us as we develop our understanding of the ancient Hebrew script and its role as both the basis of the Hebrew language and as a geometric metaphor for all of life. Each letter of this script has a name, a written form, a sound, a physical form in the mouth and a physical form made by the hand, hence the spoken and written languages we know are mere artifacts of the true language.
