Reading and Writing Mi Shebeirach Le’Holim, the Jewish Prayer for Healing

September 16 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm EDT

Free
Two hands embracing
Monday, September 16, 2024
12-1:30 p.m. EDT
 
In another special Elul event, we will study the origins of Judaism’s central healing prayer; reading between the lines in an effort to discover its theological underpinnings, and how/when/why it has been utilized historically. What does the Mi Shebeirach teach us about how Judaism understands healing? Are there risks in saying it or not saying it? We will also and craft and share our own original versions of this healing prayer.
 
This event will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.
