SUMMARY:This Little Light of Mine: 8 Mindful Rituals for Hanukkah
DESCRIPTION:During Hanukkah\, at the heart of winter\, we enact a ritual that teaches us to grow in our light. Starting with a single flickering flame\, the festival of lights concludes with a glorious fully lit menorah\, visible through the window\, shining from within and out to the world. How can we allow this ritual to transform us? Join Dr. Mira Neshama Weil for a session dedicated to shining our light within and without. Through reflecting on the meaning of the festival\, meditating\, and learning rituals for our menorah lighting each night\, we will prepare for Hanukkah with purpose and presence and make each day of lighting the menorah a truly meaningful\, transformative practice. The session comprises text study\, guided meditation\, ritual learning and time for questions and sharings. People of all backgrounds are welcome. \nDr. Mira Neshama Weil is a Paris-born scholar and teacher of Jewish spirituality and meditation. A post-doctoral fellow (Hebrew University of Jerusalem/Oxford University) working on contemporary Jewish spirituality\, a certified Jewish Experiential Educator (Pardes Institute for Jewish Studies/Yesod European Fellows)\, a Certified Mindfulness Instructor (Mindfulness Training Institute)\, a Certified Jewish Mindfulness Teacher (Institute for Jewish Spirituality)\, and a Certified Vinyasa-Ashtanga Yoga teacher (RYT 200h at Sira Yoga)\, she teaches Torah and Jewish meditation internationally for institutions such as Or HaLev\, Applied Jewish Spirituality\, the Romemu Yeshiva\, IJS\, Moishe House\, and more. She lives in Tel Aviv with her husband Matan and their dog Nissim\, and when she’s not busy learning or teaching about Jewish spirituality\, she works on growing her illustration portfolio and her guitar and Hebrew chanting\, while experimenting to bake the perfect challah. \nThe session will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience. \nWe are happy to offer this session for free.

SUMMARY:Healing Through Writing: For Cancer Survivors and Those Facing Illness
DESCRIPTION:Cancer\, like other forms of serious illness\, is not simply a physical experience\, but also emotional and spiritual. In order to heal from a cancer experience\, we must address all three aspects. The physical healing is directed by our healthcare teams. There are many ways to heal emotionally and spiritually\, but we often find ourselves navigating this on our own. Luckily\, there are many ways we can enhance our healing. This session will focus on writing and ritual as a means of healing\, which has been studied as an effective way to heal from both physical and emotional trauma. Led by Melissa K. Rosen\, two-time cancer survivor\, a member of ADVOT’s first cohort\, and the Director of Training and Education at Sharsheret: The Jewish Breast and Ovarian Cancer Community. This program is open to all who have been impacted by illness. \nMelissa K. Rosen\, Sharsheret’s Director of Training and Education\, holds a master’s degree in Jewish Communal Service from Brandeis University and has been working in the non-profit sector for over 30 years. Her professional experience includes informal education and programming\, advocacy\, and community outreach. Melissa has facilitated unique and lasting connections among organizations in the diverse American Jewish community. Melissa oversees community education throughout the country\, training health care professionals\, Jewish professionals\, and Sharsheret’s volunteers. She also manages Sharsheret’s Community Partnerships. Herself a two-time cancer survivor\, Melissa has used writing as a healing technique. She is passionate about the Jewish community and cancer support and advocacy. \nThe session will be recorded and sent to participants.

SUMMARY:Dreaming Against the Current: Exploring Spiritual Modalities
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, we will explore some of Rabbi Haviva’s favorite spiritual companioning modalities\, including dreamwork\, nature soul work\, and inner child work. She will read excerpts from her new memoir\, Dreaming Against the Current: A Rabbi’s Soul Journey\, as examples of the modalities at work\, and participants will be given prompts to begin to do some of that work themselves. There will be time for sharing as well. Participants are encouraged to come prepared with a pencil and notebook for journaling as well as an image from a dream\, a significant childhood event you feel changed your life in some way\, and a favorite animal\, tree\, or any other aspect of nature. \nRabbi Dr. Haviva Ner-David is the rabbinic founder of Shmaya: A Mikveh for Mind\, Body\, and Soul\, the only mikveh in Israel open to all to immerse as they choose. Ordained as both a rabbi and an interfaith minister\, certified as a spiritual companion (with a specialty in dream work)\, and with a doctorate on mikveh from Bar Ilan University\, she offers mikveh guidance and spiritual companioning for individuals and couples\, as well as mikveh workshops and classes for groups. Rabbi Haviva is the author of three spiritual journey memoirs and a novel. Her most recent memoir\, Dreaming Against the Current: A Rabbi’s Soul Journey\, is about her journey into interspirituality and dreamwork. Her two previous spiritual journey memoirs are titled: Chanah’s Voice: A Rabbi Wrestles with Gender\, Commandment\, and the Women’s Rituals of Baking\, Bathing\, and Brightening\, and Life on the Fringes: A Feminist Journey Towards Traditional Rabbinic Ordination\, a runner up for the National Jewish Book Council Awards. Hope Valley\, her debut novel\, is about the friendship between a Palestinian and a Jewish woman in Galilee\, where Haviva lives. She is also the mother of seven and lives with FSHD\, a form of muscular dystrophy\, which has been one of her greatest teachers. \nThe session will be recorded and sent to participants.
