Workshop on the Beautiful Flow of Shabbat Morning Liturgy
Sep
28
1:00 PM13:00

Workshop on the Beautiful Flow of Shabbat Morning Liturgy

The liturgy of Shabbat morning is arranged thematically to create a holistic experience focused on cherished values.  Often we get lost in the wordiness and weightiness of rabbinic prayer and forget the beauty of the journey through embodied expressions like song and dance.   

Join Rabbi Lynn for an exploration of the soulful themes of Sabbath morning prayer that include songs in praise of life,  gratitude for the many blessing that fill our lives,  a reflection on love, deep listening and healing justice, and a litany in praise of seven cultural gifts.

If you have a ritual object, photo, prayer book, tallit or piece of art that represents the Sabbath and/or Jewish identity in your life, please bring to place on the altar we will create dedicated to Shabbat. The workshop will include inviting each person to share brief and deep (2 minute) story about the object you’re bringing to the altar.

Selichot: The Dance of Forgiveness and Havdalah service

Join Reb Josie Boskoff, Maggidah Batya Podos, Cantor Beth with Alavados, Rikud and our Nahalat Shalom community as we chant, pray and dance the Selichot prayers which ask for divine forgiveness. As we meditate on the 13 attributes/ trece atributos, we prepare ourselves and renew for the new year through teshuvah (return /repentance), deep introspection through ‘cheshbon hanefesh’ (accounting of our soul) and Tikkun Olam (repairing of the world). We will greet the night and the new week with the Havdalah ceremony, sound a ‘Tekiah Gedola’ on the shofar and chant ‘Rachamana D’aney’ an ancient prayer in Aramaic: “Compassionate one who answers the poor and broken-hearted, Answer Us.”
