SUMMARY:GatherBay Book Club: The Place of All Possibility
DESCRIPTION:What can Judaism teach us about creativity? And\, particularly in our current challenging times\, how can that creativity help us meet the moment with increased resilience? \nJoin GatherBay’s Rabbi Gray Myrseth for a three-session book club\, where we’ll dig into these questions and more. Through the lens of local author Rabbi Adina Allen’s “The Place of All Possibility\,” we’ll explore the idea of creativity as a spiritual practice. \nWhat: a book club!

We’ll be meeting indoors\, with an option to have double doors to the outside open if desired.

By registering\, you are committing to attending all three main sessions (the fourth experiential session is optional). \nHow do I register? Fill out this form!

SUMMARY:Have You Made Art About It Yet? Tu BiShvat! with Rabbi Adina Allen & Dayenu
DESCRIPTION:Tu BiShvat invites us to reflect on our connection to the earth\, the ecosystems that sustain us\, and our place within the web of life. It’s a time to honor the more-than-human world within and around us and ask: What new possibilities might emerge from what we cannot yet fully see? Using the Jewish Studio Process – a unique methodology combining practices from the field of art therapy with a reimagined approach to Jewish learning and spirituality – we’ll nurture the seeds of our wild imagination\, allowing them to gestate in the soil of our soul. This session is offered in partnership with Dayenu: A Jewish Call to Climate Action. \n \n \nOrganization: Jewish Studio Project

SUMMARY:ÒReligious Adulting': A Spiritual Approach to Adulthood with the Den Collective
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of the Holocaust\, an unpublished manuscript was found in the rubble of the Warsaw Ghetto. Written before the war\, the author– Hasidic rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapira–buried his life’s work shortly before his death. In doing so\, he preserved his ÒHakhsharat HaAvrekhim\,’ a spiritual guidebook seeking to speak to the life experiences and religious questions facing communities of young adults. Join Rabbi Emmanuel for study and conversation about this unique text\, exploring its wisdom and takeaways for our lives today.  \nAll are welcome and no prior experience necessary. We will gather at a home in DC that is Metro accessible. Address will be shared with registrants.
