Standing Into Relationship: The Amida

Six sessions, audio only

The tradition calls the Amida HaT’filah — THE prayer and teaches that the amida is the heart and soul of the liturgy. In the amida, we step into intimate relationship with the Infinite Presence. We offer praise and gratitude. We ask for help and guidance and we bow deeply into the Mystery that holds us all. In this series of classes, we step into the expanse of the amida.

Psalms as Spiritual Practice

4 sessions, video

In these classes we explore ways to engage with psalms, developing a relationship with these ancient texts that speak to moments of transition, fear, doubt, exaltation, wonder, beauty and certainty. Full psalms and individual verses guide our way as we discover how psalms can shape and inform our spiritual practice.

What Does God Have To Do With It?

4 sessions, video

Guided by Jewish mystical tradition, we delved into teachings, images and experiences of “God." The deep aim of the class has for each of us to discover a sense of “God” that will guide us in standing strong, steady and loving in these times.

Peering into the Mystery

4 sessions, video

For the Jewish mystics, the system of the sefirot—the Divine Emanations—reveal cosmic mystery. These ten emanations are vessels through which we can encounter and experience the Sacred and Absolute One. They shine from the Infinite, illuminating the interconnection of all being and opening the way for relationship with the Infinite presence. Bowing deeply, we will enter these realms, asking for blessing and guidance.
