CLASSES WITH RABBI SILVER |
|
 |
Yoga for the Jewish Spirit
Fridays at 9:30 AM
**Please note there will be no class tomorrow, March 26th**
|
Yoga and Judaism are different traditions but they share some profound truths about the human spirit. Join Rabbi Silver for a weekly one-hour yoga practice to get us physically and spiritually ready for Shabbat. You will need only a yoga mat and your curiosity. (Please note that while this class is suitable for beginners you should check with a medical practitioner that it will be safe for you.) |
|
|
|
The Deep Dive - A Book of Life
Tuesdays at 7 PM
**Please note there will be no class this week, March 30th**
|
One of the worst effects of the pandemic has been its impact on communal gathering. How are we supposed to maintain a nourishing, meaningful Jewish life when we can’t be together? This weekly class will use Michael Strassfeld’s A Book of Life to help illuminate and re-ground our personal spirituality, enriching both our own practices and our connections to each other.
|
|
|
|
Sisterhood Class: Psalms
Wednesdays at 10 AM
**Please note there will be no class this week, March 31st, and will be replaced with a Sisterhood Book Review**
The 150 poems in the book of Psalms address every aspect of the human condition. Join Rabbi Silver to explore a psalm a week. We’ll consider not only the poem itself but how it speaks to us and how we might integrate its wisdom into our lives. Please do bring along a Tanakh/Bible of your own.

We are excited that four institutions of the Conservative/Masorti Movement -- the Rabbinical Assembly, USCJ, The Jewish Theological Seminary, and the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies -- have created a joint initiative to offer high quality adult education opportunities to all those interested in participating.
ScholarStream is an exciting series that will give individuals and communities the opportunity to learn from some of the world’s leading scholars and engage deeply with our texts and traditions.
