After hearing from our rabbis, cantors, and educators, the floor will be turned over to you for small group discussions on how the Torah - or Jewish tradition in general - helps you renew your energy and carry on.

FebFebruary 6 , 2025God is Here: Exploring Metaphors for the Divine
Thursday, Feb 6th 6:00p to 7:30p
Join Rabbis Debra Cantor and Rachel Zerin for a hands-on exploration of different metaphors for the Divine. These metaphors are all deeply rooted in Jewish tradition, while broadening the ways we think about, talk about, and relate to God and the idea of the Holy. Inspired by Rabbi Toba Spitzer's book "God is Here: Reimagining the Divine," we will use text study, discussion, writing, art, ritual, and more to think about how language and metaphor shape our experiences - and how language and metaphor can either limit or expand how we experience holiness in our lives. Registration coming soon!
