Jewish Mysticism meets Integral Yoga | Contemporary Mysticism: Paths to Spiritual Awakening: A Series of Interfaith Dialogues
Wednesday, March 27, 7:30 PM on Zoom
Jewish mysticism, particularly in the Kabbalistic tradition, often describes the highest goal of meditation as devekut, or cleaving to God, where the individual seeks to transcend the self and become one with the divine. Swami Ramananda and Rabbi David will explore how the teachings and practices of the Kabbalah overlap and are synergistic with Integral Yoga Teachings, as well as areas where they diverge.

Thank You For an Unforgettable Purim! | |
|
By Request: The Purim Prayer from Israel Shared by Rabbi Ingber
A Prayer for this Purim
Written by Rabbanit Esti Rosenberg
Translated by Leah Hartman
With the consent of G-d and with the consent of the congregation, we are permitted to rejoice, Purim is permitted to enter and to be, to enter through the gates, to answer the Beloved Who is knocking. And all the wounded and the captives, the kidnapped and the fallen, the injured and the soldiers, from last Purim until this Purim, they stand before me and I ask them, to grant me permission with loving-kindness, with mercy, permission and obligation.
And like the permission to prayer composed by the liturgists of Spain and Germany, I ask permission– permission to rejoice, even permission to laugh; permission to no longer distinguish between “cursed be Haman” and “blessed be Mordechai”; permission to give thanks with a broken heart; permission to come before the Royal Throne dressed in sackcloth and ashes, and to cry out a great and bitter cry, to hear the music and cleanse the heart as if there were no war in the world at all.
Permission from the fallen, from the widows and the orphans, permission from the bereaved parents, the brothers and sisters, the brothers and sisters-in-laws. Permission from the wounded and the kidnapped, from the families in Hostages Square, and from the worried heart.
