Gratitude is an integral aspect of Jewish tradition. From starting the day with the Modah Ani prayer to offering prayers throughout the day that express appreciation for both the natural and human worlds, Jewish practices provide us with valuable frameworks to foster awareness and joy through gratitude.
With Thanksgiving approaching, this is the perfect opportunity to delve into gratitude as expressed in Jewish tradition and to create our own forms of thanks through poetry, prayer, or ritual. Join Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer, Ritualwell’s Director of Virtual Content and Programs, for a special pre-Thanksgiving event designed to inspire you before the holiday, inviting you to explore your personal feelings of gratitude. Uncover rituals that will bring a sense of sacred awareness to your Thanksgiving table and into your everyday life!
