SUMMARY:Braided Together: 'Take Challah' Ritual in Community
DESCRIPTION:Wednesdays\, November 14 and December 12\, 2024\n2:00-3:00 p.m. EST  \n\nWhen was the last time you came together with friends or family to prepare a meal? Perhaps to bake bread? Picture everyone gathered around a table\, crafting beautifully braided dough with delightful aromas\, sharing stories filled with laughter and even a few tears. The warmth of connection and belonging\, not just from the oven\, has been lacking in our lives as we’ve drifted away from our Jewish communities and intimate family circles due to various life circumstances. However\, it doesn’t have to remain this way\, especially with technology supporting us.\n\n\n\nJoin Adva Chattler for a monthly gathering to explore the ritual of “Taking Challah”: the tradition of blessing the dough of our challah before baking it. Aside from the ritual\, we will learn a new braiding and decorating technique each month.  Our time together will be sprinkled with song\, chant\, storytelling  and more\, as we braid our challahs together. Recipe\, step-by-step guide and more resources will be shared in advance. \n\n\n\n\n\nAdva Chattler is an Israeli-Mizrahi Jew\, born and raised in Be’er-Sheva\, Israel. She loves to create meaningful experiences through her cooking and baking that prompt sharing stories\, teachings and rituals about Judaism\, Israel and Mizrahi Jewish cultures and heritage. Her rituals\, prayers and poems were published on Ritualwell. Adva is passionate about bringing people together in ways that spark relationship building and connecting to others on a deeper level\, both in the challenging and ever-changing world of online gatherings\, and in person. She holds a MA in conflict Resolution and Management from Ben Gurion University of the Negev and BA in Public Administration and Management from Sapir College in Sderot\, Israel\, and a Makhloket Matters Fellow for Jewish Professionals by the Pardes Institute for Jewish Studies. With her experience in teaching and curriculum building\, she support facilitators and presenters for Ritualwell and Reconstructing Judaism and encourage them to bring not only their best self\, but best practices and tools for successful teaching online. Adva is also a mother and a foodie who lives in Del Rio\, Tx.\, with her husband\, three daughters and two dogs. \n

SUMMARY:Written in Moonlight: A Monthly Rosh Hodesh Journey
DESCRIPTION:This group meets monthly from October through June. You may register for individual monthly sessions or the full year. All sessions will be recorded in case you can’t attend live.\nFull year (9 months): $300 (save $24!)\nSingle sessions: $36 each \nJoin us for Ritualwell’s inaugural monthly Rosh Hodesh experience! Each month\, from October through June\, we will gather virtually for ritual and writing in a creative-spiritual liminal space. We will be guided by the ancient Jewish tradition of welcoming each month with the emergence of the new moon. We will honor the wisdom and practices of our foremothers\, recalling that Rosh Hodesh has historically been a sacred time for women—and celebrating those women who our tradition lifts up throughout the year—while raising a tent that is wide enough for all who wish to enter. At each gathering\, participants will be invited to contribute a short song\, prayer\, meditation\, niggun\, poem\, story\, kavannah\, or drash dedicated to the emerging month\, followed by teaching\, discussion\, and writing prompts led by Sivan Rotholz\, a ritualist\, community builder\, and professor of gynocentric Torah and creative writing who believes deeply in the magic of the new moon. People of all genders and backgrounds are welcome. No previous ritual\, writing\, or Rosh Hodesh experience necessary. \nSivan Rotholz is a professor of gynocentric Torah and creative writing. She has taught at Brooklyn College\, Tel Aviv University\, Columbia/Barnard Hillel\, Moishe House\, and elsewhere\, and has shared her Torah in synagogues and living rooms across the globe. Her writing has appeared in the Jewish Journal\, 929\, and Ritualwell\, among other publications. She is the Education Director for Achayot – Jewish Women Writers\, and is pursuing rabbinic ordination from Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion. \n  \n  \nAll sessions will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.

SUMMARY:Filling the Well: A Monthly Embodied Creativity Salon
DESCRIPTION:In this FREE monthly drop-in salon\, we will use embodied practices\, including breathing\, sound meditation\, and movement to quiet the inner critic\, calm the nervous system\, and open the creative channel. From that place we will explore generative prompts designed to free your creative expression. You will leave the space more deeply connected to your authentic creative voice and ready to put it to use.\n \nElana Bell is a poet\, sound practitioner\, and creative guide. She facilitates artistic rituals and processes that support individuals and groups in accessing their authentic voice and alchemizing raw experience and emotion into artistic expression. Elana is the author of Mother Country (BOA Editions in 2020)\, poems about fertility\, motherhood\, and mental illness. Elana’s debut collection of poetry\, Eyes\, Stones (LSU Press 2012)\, was selected by Fanny Howe as the winner of the 2011 Walt Whitman Award from the Academy of American Poets and brings her complex heritage as the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors to consider the difficult question of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In addition to leading her own embodied Creative Fire workshops\, Elana teaches poetry to actors at the Juilliard School and sings with the Resistance Revival Chorus\, a group of women activists and musicians committed to bringing joy and song to the resistance movement. She is also the founder of the Mother Artist Salon\, a community dedicated to supporting mothers in their artistic practice. www.elanabell.com\n \nPlease note these sessions will not be recorded. \nWe are happy to offer this series for free. Please consider adding a donation to Ritualwell to help us continue to offer free programs like this one!
