Mini Meditation Sessions with Elliott Familant
Friday July 24, 2020 at 8:00 am
Elliott Familant is leading a weekly mini-meditation session each Friday morning. These sessions are brief, no more than 30 minutes and consist of a short reading, 18 minutes of silent meditation, a tiny bit of discussion, and then Kaddish. This is an easy way to inject an island of peace into your week and will help you feel calm and centered for the rest of your day. If you are new to meditation, this can be a gentle introduction to the practice with a Jewish twist. Something special occurs when you meditate or pray as a group. The ancient Rabbis suggest that the spirit of G-d herself appears under these circumstances. Join us and find out.

New Program at MRT:
Seeing Human Through a Jewish Lens
|
|
|
We are excited to let you know about our newest learning opportunities at MRT. Seeing Human through a Jewish Lens: Jewish Approaches to Contemporary Issues will look at issues of race, gender, anti-semitism and Israel over the next few months with opportunities for learning, discussion and questioning. This experience is presented through a joint partnership between MRT’s Religious Education, Adult Learning, Sisterhood, Men’s Club and Social Action Committees.
Topics will include: understanding and recognizing white privilege, a historical exploration of slavery and civil rights, raising children who value difference, the Black Jewish experience in mainstream Judaism and civic engagement. The intention is to start these programs mid-summer and hold them throughout the year.
Please keep an eye on your inbox for an email this week with more detailed information about all of our upcoming events in this new program.
