You’ll hear powerful excerpts from selected contributors connected to the Ritualwell community including Diane Gottlieb\, Tzivia Gover\, Lisa Grunberger\, Talya Jankovits and Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer\, followed by a meaningful conversation about how joy can be a spiritual and cultural practice—especially in challenging times.\n \nThen\, you’ll be guided through a generative writing prompt designed to help you reflect on your personal experiences of joy\, and how they relate to your Jewish identity and story.\n \nCome to be inspired. Come to write. Come to feel joy.\n \n\nThis 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\nDiane Gottlieb is the editor of the anthologies Awakenings: Stories of Body and Consciousness and the upcoming Manna Songs.
