HIGH HOLY DAYS

YOM KIPPUR STUDY

Yom Kippur Study

Mind, Body, Spirit

Monday, Sept. 28 12:15 - 1:15 p.m. and 1:30 - 2:30 p.m.

All of us can access Jewish spirituality in a wide variety of ways. During this year’s Yom Kippur study, we will have the opportunity to learn from several insightful lay teachers about how holiness can be explored and cultivated in our everyday lives. All three study opportunities will be offered each hour.

Mind
Reaching into Jewish texts, along with the other endeavors of our mind, can highlight a sacred connection between the intellectual and the spiritual. Undertaken with the proper perspective, learning and thinking can help us encounter the presence of something larger than ourselves.

Body
The work of our hands can also become the work of our hearts. When we nurture a garden or weave a new tapestry, we are linking to the sacred space within. Uncover one of the many ways that our skills and passions can help us find God in unexpected places and times.

Spirit
The expansion and contraction of our own breathing mirrors the same pulse in the universe. Learn to connect with this powerful force through Jewish meditation techniques. Find out how to use relaxation and centering practices to deepen your connection with God’s presence.
