SUMMARY:The Jewish Approach to Conflict Transformation
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays\, April 4\, 11\, 18 and May 2\, 9\, 16\, 2024\n12-1:30 p.m. EDT\n$250 for six sessions \nThe lengths to which some of us will go to avoid conflict are extreme\, but what if we flipped the script on conflict? What if we understood conflict as an invitation to embrace difficult aspects of ourselves and others in order to grow? Conflict transformation theory says that conflict is actually not the problem\, rather it is how we respond to conflict that creates the most difficulty. The good news is that we always have a choice in how we respond. \nEven better news is that Jewish tradition is a storehouse of wisdom and practical application on how to navigate the world of conflict and how we respond to it\, from sources in the Torah and from how our rabbinic sages model of conflict transformation. In this Ritualwell Immersion\, we will explore what conflict transformation might look like for the Jewish community in our times. Using parts of the Pardes Institute for Jewish Studies Center for Conflict Resolution “Constructive Conflict” curriculum\, we will navigate both ancient and modern approaches to conflict and rebuild our own conflict toolboxes applicable in contexts from the interpersonal\, intercommunal\, to the international realms. Together\, we will imagine a Jewish community that knows how to show up in disagreement\, even when it gets hard. \nAll sessions will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.\n \nRabbi Ezra Weinberg is a shaliach tzibur\, officiant and Jewish educator dedicated to creating connection and community. He is a native Philadelphian and holds an MA in Conflict Transformation. Reb Ezra officiates weddings and Bnai Mitzvot and teaches a University course called\, “One G-d\, Three Paths” alongside a priest and imam. He currently works with individuals and families within the Jewish community and founded ReVoice\, a network of resources for Jewish going through divorce.  He shares: “The work that I do is inspired by my own divorce as well as my experience as a child of high conflict divorce. A big part of my mission is to offer support in Jewish contexts when divorce radically changes a family’s path. However\, I also want to change the conversation around divorce within the Jewish community today so that it is no longer taboo to get divorced or talk about divorce.”\n \n \n\n      \n        \n      \n    \n \nThis Immersion is happening in partnership with the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies. \n\n

SUMMARY:This is My Jewish Heart
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, April 10\, 2024\n12-1:30 p.m. EDT\n \n\n“But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart\, that I may multiply My signs and marvels in the land of Egypt” –Exodus 7:3\n \nIt is now known that trauma is stored in the body and that the heart\, in particular holds onto grief\, sadness\, shame and ancestral loss. No other biblical story focuses more on the heart than the provocative story of Va’eira when Pharoah’s heart is hardened against the plight of the Jewish people as we suffer and fight for freedom from slavery. Poet\, performer\, and holistic health coach Corie Feiner will lead a discussion on this parsha\, our relationship to our own hearts\, and introduce a guided poetry writing exercise where we will write the stories of our hearts and make our way from a narrow place of anxiety and pain towards inner and outer liberation. Included in this workshop will be breathwork\, movement\, and supplemental text from the poet\, Dorriane Laux. Seasoned writers and those new to writing are welcome to join.\n \nThe session will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.\n \n\n\n \nCorie Feiner is the Poet Laureate Emeritus of Bucks County\, PA and an award-winning poet\, performer and educator called “wonderful” by The New York Times and “absorbing” by Backstage Magazine. She is the author of the poetry book\, Radishes into Roses and the children’s book Who Was Born at Home. Dedicated to embodied Judaism\, she has been commissioned to perform her inspiring\nJewish poetry and psalms for synagogues and peace organizations across the world. For the past ten years she has been a dedicated homebirthing\, homeschooling\, cook from scratch tiger mama\, whose latest project\, A Poem for Every Pose arose out of her at-home yoga practice and her belief that inner strength and inner peace are essential for creating a more peaceful world.

SUMMARY:Moses\, A Stranger Among Us: A Conversation with Rabbi Maurice Harris
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, April 17\, 2024 \n1-2:00 p.m. EDT\n \nIn his book\, Moses: A Stranger among Us\, Rabbi Maurice Harris leads us to look beyond familiar and popular portrayals of Moses so that we can discover the Moses whose lesser-known attributes and experiences provide us with surprisingly fresh ethical and spiritual guidance. You may have seen Rabbi Harris sharing his perspective about Moses on Netflix’s new docudrama series\, Testament: The Story of Moses.\n\n \nNow\, you have an opportunity to ask your questions about this complex prophet with Rabbi Harris himself! Join us for a conversation between Ritualwell’s Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer and Rabbi Harris\, focused on understanding Moses through traditional religious interpretations\, academic Bible scholarship\, psychological and sociological analysis\, feminist readings\, and more. Participants will have the chance to ask questions\, join the conversation and write your own creative midrash about Moses’ legacy.\n \nWe’ll draw names of everyone who joins us and raffle off two autographed copies of Moses: A Stranger among Us! \n \nThe session will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.\n \n \n\nOrdained by the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in 2003\, Rabbi Maurice Harris is Associate Director for Thriving Communities and Israel Affairs Specialist at Reconstructing Judaism. Previously\, Maurice served as Associate Rabbi and Head of School at Temple Beth Israel in Eugene\, OR. Maurice is the author of three books: Moses: A Stranger Among Us (2012)\, Leviticus: You Have No Idea (2013)\, and The Forgotten Sage: Rabbi Joshua ben Hananiah and the Birth of Judaism as We Know It (2019)\, all from Cascade Books. He blogs at theaccidentalrabbi.substack.com.\n \n \n \n
