Every Move You Make: Turning Your Life Into Spiritual Practice: Rabbi Pamela Wax

We tend to think of spiritual practices as "extras" in our life -- things like prayer, meditation, or yoga. In this workshop, the group will discuss these spiritual paths, but also expand the parameters of what constitutes spiritual practice. It can include your most intimate relationships, childcare, or housecleaning. Find out how our everyday living can also be spiritual practice.

Nurturing a Heart of Gratitude: Rabbi Shira Milgrom

Scientists and mystics alike tell us that the most likely way to happiness is by cultivating gratitude. Study some of these ancient and contemporary texts and consider why this spiritual practice - the practice of blessings - is so challenging and so filled with potential.

The Prayer of the Heart: Chana’s Story: Rabbi Cara Weinstein Rosenthal

Walk into almost any synagogue, and you’ll see people praying silently. Where did this practice come from? Delve into the story of Chana, the Biblical heroine from the Book of Samuel who transformed the way that Jews pray. Learn about how a mild-mannered Israelite woman became a liturgical innovator, and use Chana’s story as a lens to examine your own prayer lives and the uniqueness of women’s relationship to prayer.
