Sheva Brakhot for Two Men

 

 

1 Blessed is the Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine.

Blessed is the Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, for creating all things in Your glory.

3 Blessed is the Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, who gives life to every human being.

Blessed is the Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, who made us in Your image, to live, love and perpetuate life. Blessed is the Lord our God, who gives life to every being.

5 May Zion rejoice as her children are restored to her in joy. Blessed is the Lord our God, who causes Zion to rejoice in her children.

6 Grant perfect joy to these loving companions, as You did in the beginning for Your creatures in the Garden of Eden. Blessed is the Lord our God, who grants the joy of loving companions.

7 Blessed is the Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, who created joy and gladness, lover and friend, mirth, song, delight and rejoicing, love and harmony, peace and friendship. O, Lord, our God, may there always be heard in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem voices of joy and gladness, voices of lover and friend, the jubilant voices of those joined in
marriage under the canopy, the voices of young people feasting and singing. Blessed is the Lord our God, who causes grooms to rejoice beneath their huppah.

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
