SUMMARY:The Access Code: Naming God and Opening to Prayer
DESCRIPTION:The first line of the traditional liturgical prayer is the petikhah (the opening)\, where we name and describe the One we will be in holy conversation with and then state the basic premise of the prayer. Traditionally\, we gain access to God by praying to Adonai\, Melekh HaOlam\, the “Lord\, King of the Universe\,” but we can call God by any name\, gendered or not\, hierarchical or not\, depending of who or what we need to pray to or for. In this session\, we will explore the petikhah and how to use it to create our own prayers. \nTrisha Arlin is a liturgist\, writer\, performer\, and student of prayer in Brooklyn\, NY. She has served as a liturgist\, scholar\, and artist in residence and taught for venues including the National Havurah Committee’s Summer Institute\, Ritualwell.org\, Haggadot.com\, and for synagogues around the country. She is a builder of Bayit’s Liturgical Arts project. Trisha received a BA in Theater from Antioch College in 1975 and an MFA in Film (Screenwriting) in 1997 from Columbia University. In 2009/2010\, Trisha was an Arts Fellow at the Drisha Institute. In 2011\, she graduated from the sixth cohort of the Davennen Leadership Training Institute (DLTI). Trisha’s liturgy has been used in services\, for ritual occasions\, and at venues of many denominations nationwide. She is the author of Place Yourself: Words of Poetry and Intention (a collection of liturgy and kavannot). Her work has appeared in a variety of journals\, siddurim\, and collections of liturgy and can be found online at TrishaArlin.com\, Ritualwell.org\, and opensiddur.org. \nAll sessions 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. A suggested $18 donation has been added to the ticket. If you are unable to donate\, you may remove that suggested amount from the ticket. Please consider donating if you’re able\, to help us continue to offer free programs like this one.

SUMMARY:Gathering Waters: Mikveh Ritual Creation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Water is an ancient source of healing and transformation in Jewish tradition. In the past few decades\, the ritual of mikveh immersion has been reimagined to include more and more voices and experiences\, particularly that of women and LGBTQ individuals. A collaboration between Mayyim Hayyim’s Rising Tide Open Waters Mikveh Network and Ritualwell\, join us for a special workshop on creating mikveh rituals. We’ll dive into Jewish sources on mikveh and look at examples of innovative contemporary rituals. We will then be invited to create our own mikveh rituals\, to workshop them in a small group\, and to share. This workshop is ideal for those who serve as mikveh guides or anyone looking to create their own\, personal mikveh ritual or to help others in that process. \n \nHila Ratzabi is director of virtual content and programs at Ritualwell.org. She has been with Ritualwell since 2015\, shepherding the publication of hundreds of poems\, prayers and rituals and creating innovative online programming. Born in Rehovot\, Israel\, and raised in Queens\, Ny.\, Ratzabi is a poet\, writer\, editor and writing coach. She is the author of a book of poetry\, There Are Still Woods (June Road Press\, 2022). She holds a BA in English/Creative Writing from Barnard College\, a BA in Jewish Philosophy from the Jewish Theological Seminary (Double Degree Program\, 2003)\, and an MFA in Poetry from Sarah Lawrence College (2007). Her poetry is published in a variety of literary journals and in The Bloomsbury Anthology of Contemporary Jewish American Poetry. She lives in Oak Park\, Il.\, outside Chicago\, with her husband and two children. Learn more at http://www.hilaratzabi.com/. \nThis 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. A suggested $18 donation has been added to the ticket. If you are unable to donate\, you may remove that suggested amount from the ticket. Please consider donating if you’re able\, to help us continue to offer free programs like this one. \nMayyim Hayyim is a 21st century creation\, a mikveh rooted in ancient tradition\, reinvented to serve the Jewish community of today. Mayyim Hayyim is a resource for learning\, spiritual discovery\, and creativity where women\, men\, and people of all genders and ages can celebrate milestones like weddings and b’nai mitzvah; where conversion to Judaism is accorded the honor and dignity it deserves; where survivors of trauma\, illness or loss find solace; and where those who immerse monthly can explore the ritual on their own terms. Mayyim Hayyim is a fountain of creativity that\, since its opening in 2004\, inspired new liturgies and curricula\, publications\, music\, artwork\, and plays. \nThe mission of the Rising Tide Open Waters Mikveh Network is to inspire\, strengthen and support communities that embrace an open\, inclusive and welcoming approach to ritual immersion as a way to mark life transitions. \nRitualwell is the most extensive online resource that curates original Jewish rituals for Jews and fellow seekers. We publish rituals\, ceremonies\, prayers and poems to mark sacred moments in Jewish life. Through creating and sharing rituals\, hosting Ritualwell Immersions (online learning experiences) and curating an online Judaica shop\, Ritualwell fosters a supportive environment for Jewish creativity\, spiritual growth and discovery.
