A Reason to Celebrate!Illuminating Our Lives through the Jewish HolidaysWhat’s your reason to celebrate? The Jewish holidays are the centerpieces of our year. Days when we remember events that forever changed the course of our history. But they are much more than that. The festivals are pauses in time, primed for personal introspection and spiritual re-connection. Windows to the psyche, fortifying us with tools for facing everyday challenges. Kaleidoscopes of beauty and meaning, changing how we see ourselves, our relationships, and our world. Join us for this eye-opening new learning series from the Rosh Chodesh Society, coming this November, 2013. |
