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.
In this course, Yiscah Smith will share portions from her recently published book, Planting Seeds of the Divine: Torah Commentaries to Cultivate Your Spiritual Practice.
Participants will locate, excavate and contemplate on spiritual middot — seeds of spiritual awareness — that are embedded in the weekly Torah portions. Rooted in the Jewish spiritual tradition, this exploration provides the fertilizer to cultivate a life of meaning, purpose and sustainable inner serenity.
Imagine yourself in the role of the gardener. The gardener is in service to care for all the trees, plants, bushes, and flowers, one at a time. The gardener diligently tends to the garden, ensuring that each plant receives the proper hydration, combination of sun exposure and shade, and type of soil conducive to its unique needs to blossom.
