Who is God? What do we talk about when we talk about God? For six weeks, we will discuss God/divinity as a concept, exploring what God means to each of us and learn about the variety of approaches to God in Jewish tradition.
With Thanksgiving approaching, this is the perfect opportunity to delve into gratitude as expressed in Jewish tradition and to create our own forms of thanks through poetry, prayer, or ritual. Join Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer, Ritualwell's Director of Virtual Content and Programs, for a special pre-Thanksgiving event designed to inspire you before the holiday, inviting you to explore your personal feelings of gratitude and uncover rituals that will bring a sense of sacred awareness to your Thanksgiving table and into your everyday life!
In periods of uncertainty, Mussar can be a practice that helps us see more clearly and not merge with our sense of despair. Join Rabbi Joshua Boettiger for a four session immersion where we will explore this ancient lineage tradition – studying middot (precepts) and practices from the Mussar masters. In each session, we will also read and compose poetry related to Mussar themes – poetry of proximity, relationality, perplexity, responsibility.
Explore who the Besht was and some of his radical innovations, teachings and practices. In each session, we will move from text study, to sharing our reflections on the texts, to practical exercises arising from the texts.
