This three-module class, led by Rabbi Arik and guests, explores personal and communal practices to deepen your connection with Judaism as a personal spiritual path. It’s a great opportunity to get to know Rabbi Arik and a Jewish Renewal approach, blending tradition with spirituality through guided discussions and exercises offering a deeper connection to familiar concepts.
Participants will learn how to incorporate these practices into their daily lives, using them as vehicles to create a meaningful and personalized spiritual routine.
No prior experience is necessary, making this course accessible to anyone interested in deepening their connection to Jewish spirituality and developing a consistent daily practice.
Module 2 | Join Alex Leslie and Rabbi Arik for a practice-based exploration of Rabbi Kalonymous Kalman Shapira’s meditation teachings. We will engage with his book Conscious Community, focusing on the practice of Hashkata (“quieting the mind”) as preparation for prayer and inner reflection. The study group will also explore parallels with Zen Buddhist practices, applying these teachings to cultivate deeper mindfulness, intention, and compassion in our daily lives.
Twice monthly on Thursdays. 7pm - 8:30pm
