Ashrey Yoshvey Veytecha! - Happy are those who sit within your house! Looking for a midweek opportunity to recharge your spiritual battery? Looking for a few minutes of peace and quiet? Rabbi Elliott invites you to join him for a short period of silent meditation on Wednesdays 12:30-1:00 PM. Each session will start promptly with a little singing, include about 18 minutes of quiet contemplation, and end with a kaddish if we have a minyan or more singing if we do not.

Exploring Jewish Poetry with Rabbi Darby

Since one of the hallmarks of Reconstructionist ideology is that Judaism is a civilization, we are aware that our Jewish lives are informed by art, language and culture as well as by religious ideology and religious practice. To ensure that we have meaningful opportunities to engage with art, language and culture, our morning Torah study will consist of reading poetry. We will be looking at Jewish poems, but this begs the question, what is a Jewish poem?

In conjunction with the Ritual Committee, a series of “Ritual Workshops” will be offered during the year that will allow members to learn how to participate in leadership roles for our various rituals. Learn how to perform the duties of an usher or a gabbai. Wouldn’t it be great to lead the Torah Service one Shabbat morning? If your child is on his or her way to Bar/Bat Mitzvah, think how encouraged they’d be to see mom or dad up there as an example. Here is your chance to “walk the walk.”

Melissa Schaffer joins Beth Sandweiss and May Benatar to lead our 9:00 a.m. chanting and meditation sessions for what promises to be an invigorating spiritual workout. This past summer Beth and Melissa studied with renowned spiritual leader, Rabbi Shefa Gold, who is a leader in Aleph: Alliance for Jewish Renewal and received her ordination both from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College and from Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. We look forward to hearing about their experiences, learning some new chants and finding new ways to get our spiritual juices flowing.

Bnai Keshet and Union Baptist Church join together for a Conversation on Race. RACE is a four-letter-word we rarely share our thoughts on. We almost never talk about it with strangers. Now you can join this discussion on race, based on individual experience, insight and concerns, and experience what more than 700 area residents have already taken part in. This program, whose goal is to encourage honest and open dialogue on the topic of race, allows participants to discuss sensitive race issues constructively. You'll enhance your understanding as you exchange views with others. All participants can come away with a greater awareness of how others experience and perceive race. 5 sessions, Mondays 10/27 - 11/24. For more information or to sign up, contact Emil Schattner.
