Sun 15 Dec, 1-6 pm. Spiritual Tools for Compassion and Courage. A workshop with guest teacher Rabbi Shefa Gold, sponsored jointly by Interweave and the MetroWest Jewish Health and Healing Center. The Jewish path is all about cultivating, through intention and practice, qualities like compassion, courage, openness, lovingkindness, honesty, surrender, strength, humility or patience. In this workshop we will set ourselves on a path of cultivating exactly the “midot” (personal qualities) that are required of us now in order to live a holy life. We will utilize the modalities of chant, silent contemplation, self-examination, holy conversation, prayer and imagery to plant a precious seed in the soil of the heart, face the obstacles to growth and nurture our Divine potential. Interweave, 31 Woodland Avenue, Summit. Rabbi Helaine Ettinger, 973-736-3200 x216. $35 M/ $45 NM. Jewish Community Center Metrowest - [website][email][events]
