You're warmly invited to join us for a year of spiritual growth and transformation with our global cohort community, and Rabbi Daniel Silverstein, based on the Kabbalistic understanding of our calendar.
Together we will experience how, according to our ancient mystical tradition, each month presents a unique opportunity to refine and heal our relationship with vital aspects of our life, including eating, sleep, speech, thought, sexuality, sight, hearing, smell, grief, anger, joy and laughter.
Much of our learning and practice will revolve around the festivals and other special days which punctuate, and often exemplify, the character of each month. In each monthly session, we will explore three cluster of key texts, drawn from throughout the ocean of Torah, with our usual focus on mysticism and teachings rich in psychological insight. Each cluster will be accompanied by a relevant meditative or creative practice.hich we can identify and refine in our own selves.
What does it mean for the Jewish people to be both “a nation that dwells apart” and “a light to the nations”? These two callings — separation and connection, holiness and universality — have defined the Jewish story from its birth.
From Abraham’s covenant beneath the stars to Isaiah’s prophetic visions, from dispersion in diaspora to the rebirth of Jewish sovereignty, our people have wrestled with a timeless tension: how to live in unique covenant with the Divine while remaining responsible for the broader human family.
Misunderstood and often isolated, we often ask: What does the world want of us, and what do we seek from the world? What relationship are we meant to build with other nations, and how can we realize it with integrity?
This six-part journey with Nadav Slovin explores the evolving mission of the Jewish people through the Prophets, rabbinic wisdom, Kabbalistic insight, and the unfolding of Jewish history. We will study classical and contemporary texts (in Hebrew and English), engaging themes of chosenness and responsibility, separation and integration, the roots of antisemitism, and the Jewish role among the nations.
