Workshop Descriptions
Deepening Teshuvah through Chant with Dr. Sheila Yocheved Katz
Reviving the Dried Bones: Water as a Symbol for Renewal in Jewish Texts with Rabbi Daniel Judson
Gateways to Life - Movement Workshop with Lorel Zar-Kessler
There are multiple and varied "gates" throughout a person's life...and there is the grand gateway of Rosh Hashanah, a gateway to our entire year. A "gateway" allows us to take account, not of our past, but of our future, and to consider how we will walk through this gate.
In this workshop, we will move and walk and glide and dance into our New Year together, creating gateways into our own future.
The text for the opening was "Hide and Seek" by Aliza Kline, part of the Jewels of Elul Collection.
