During this difficult time, if you are seeking a way to connect with yourself in a gentle and nourishing way, join this meditation session. By gathering in community, we experience the power of supporting one another by simply sharing space. This guided session will walk you through a grounding beloved practice and a journaling/drawing reflection. We will end in by breaking into chevruta to discuss how marking sacred time and practicing self-compassion can help us encounter the divine/something greater than ourselves. No prior experience in meditation is required, and all are welcome.
Together we will explore several instances of antisemitism throughout American history and how these episodes impacted America’s response to the Holocaust as it unfolded. Questions we'll ponder: What forms did antisemitism in America take in the years preceding the Holocaust, from the Civil War to World War II? How did American Jewry and interfaith allies respond to this antisemitism? With rising antisemitism in America today, what lessons can this history teach us?
Together we'll look at a few texts where a single letter - the same letter in all the texts! - makes a world of difference and is used by the rabbis to teach about the importance of doubt for those with faith.
