SUMMARY:Light the World: Dancing in Community for Hanukkah
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, December 7\, 2023 \n12 – 1:30 p.m. EST  \n \nEvery person must know and understand\nThat a candle burns deep within them\,\nAnd their candle is unlike their friend’s\nAnd no person without a candle exists.\nAnd every person must know and understand\nThat they must strive to uncover\nThe light of the candle publicly\nAnd light it into a great torch\nAnd light the whole world\n–Rav Abraham Isaac Kook \nIn this FREE session\, we’ll welcome Hanukkah through the Nia movement practice. We’ll bring the light of community into the world to music by Matisyahu\, Erran Baron Cohen\, Divahn\, Noa\, and Balkan Beat Box\, followed by prompts for reflection and writing. \nNia is based on the philosophy that everyone can enhance their potential for a healthy\, meaningful life by engaging their senses and listening compassionately to their bodies. It is adaptable to individual needs and abilities. Its core principle is finding your body’s joy of movement\, whether that’s swaying gently in a chair or stomping up a sweat. \nWhat you’ll need \n\nClear a space so you have room to move. However\, Nia can also be done seated.\nNia is low-impact and designed to be done barefoot. But it’s fine to wear tennis or jazz-dance shoes if that’s best for you.\nHave writing materials at hand. You may want art materials\, as well.\n\nAll sessions will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience. \n  \nJanice Steinberg (she/her) holds a Black Belt in the Nia dance-fitness practice and has been teaching for 15 years. Last spring\, she offered an Omer Nia program through Ritualwell. She is the author of the novel The Tin Horse (Random House) and a five-book mystery series published by Berkley. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Reclaiming the Hebrew Goddess and Writing Her Anew
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays\, December 14\, 21\, 28\, 2023 and January 4\, 11\, 18\, 2024 \n12-1:30 p.m. EST \nIf the Hebrew goddess could whisper to you\, she might say\, “They tried to bury us. They didn’t know that we were seeds.” For thousands of years before patriarchal monotheism took hold\, our ancestors worshipped the divine feminine. In this six-part Ritualwell Immersion\, we will take a deep dive into the legacy of the Hebrew goddess\, from her ancient biblical and Near Eastern roots\, to her demise at the hands of our prophets and scribes and to her manifestations in Judaism today. Through thoughtful reflection and inspired creative writing with guided writing prompts\, discover where her secrets are hidden and reclaim her for your own\, for the earth\, and for the generations to come. Join gynocentric Torah scholar\, creative writing professor\, and student rabbi Sivan Rotholz as we harvest the bounty of the divine feminine in Jewish tradition. This is the second installment of a previous Ritualwell Immersion. This second Immersion will introduce all-new materials. New explorers and returning students alike are most welcome. No previous creative writing experience or knowledge of the goddess required. \nAll sessions will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience. \n  \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
