Bedtime Hashkivenu

Now I lay me down to sleep
In peace, Eternal One.
In the morning, I will rise
To life renewed, in sun.
Spread over me the shelter of
Your peace, and set me right.
Shield me, guard me, clear my way
Throughout this lonely night.
Shelter me beneath your wings
As you fly close above.
Safeguard me as I come and go
In life, and peace, and love.

Learning to Say "We": Writing Identity

In this immersion, we will reflect and expand on our personal experiences of identity, using writing exercises and in-depth discussions to think about, challenge, discover, explore, and experiment with different ways to identify ourselves, to consider how those ways connect us to and separate us from others, and how they represent and misrepresent aspects of who we are.

Four sessions, starting June 15th
