We look to the stories, wisdom, spiritual insights, and halacha of our tradition to bring meaning into our lives.
Our community is defined by the core Jewish value of gemilut hasadim, compassion and loving kindness.
Continuing Tuesday:
The theme of our class is eit ratzon, which means a time of desire. What does it mean to be in a time of desire, or wanting? How do we pray effectively when we are there? How are we most able to be heard? Is there a special time of day for these types of prayers? We will explore Jewish texts that grapple with these questions, and seek to find the answers and guidelines that the rabbis of the Talmud, midrash and mystical tradition offer us in our times of longing.
Please join us for Shabbat services, which Rabbi Berman will lead from our chapel. We hope to develop a Shabbat morning experience that feels meaningful to those who are viewing remotely. This will be an iterative process, as we experiment with different forms of prayer, Torah, divrei tefila and divrei Torah.
You can join us here.
