Join writer, musician, and Torah teacher Rabbi Alicia Jo Rabins for an inspiring exploration of how ordinary moments can become sacred through mindful attention and Jewish ritual practice. Drawing from her new memoir, When We’re Born We Forget Everything, Alicia will share reflections on finding holiness in everyday life, followed by a creative writing prompt inviting participants to notice and honor the sacred moments woven throughout their own lives.
This gathering is part of Ritual Lab, Ritualwell’s new monthly series celebrating innovation in contemporary Jewish ritual. Each session features visionary writers, artists, and spiritual leaders who are expanding Jewish ritual practice in creative, meaningful, and accessible ways.
This event will be recorded and sent to participants following the event. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.
