In this three session program, we will explore the Hasidic notion of change through the study of texts and discussion. No Hasidic background is required.
We will look at poems that not just describe but embody encounter itself, such as poetry written by people we might think of as ‘other' and poetry in which the poem itself directly speaks to the reader.
On October 21st, a few days before the holiday of Shemini Atzeret, our special guest leader will be Rabbi Deborah Waxman. Rabbi Waxman will lead us in grieving, praying and sharing as we mark the anniversary of the Hebrew date of the tragic Hamas attacks.
Jewish tradition is a storehouse of wisdom and practical application on how to navigate the world of conflict and how we respond to it. In this Immersion, we will explore what conflict transformation might look like in our times.
