Chai Mitzvah Class

Sunday, February 5, 2017 9 Shevat 5777

10:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Chai Mitzvah is a unique experiential Jewish journey that blends monthly group study with personal choices of Jewish engagement, in addition to a monthly text and discussion-based study session facilitated by Rav Bracha. Topics include tzedaka (charitable giving), Shabbat, Judaism and the environment, and interpersonal relationships, among others. Each participant chooses an area for deeper personal study, a spiritual practice, and a commitment to social action with which they wish to engage for the duration of the course.  

Class size limited to 16. $180 for the year (8 classes); materials included.

At the end of the program, celebrate your Chai Mitzvah journey with a certificate of completion, and find a fun way to acknowledge your Chai Mitzvah commitments and accomplishments.

Monthly Group Study

Each month, Chai Mitzvah groups, no matter where they are in the world, study the same topic using a specially designed curriculum. The source books are clearly laid out and accessible to those of all backgrounds and styles of practice, offering texts in Hebrew and English, from contemporary and traditional sources.

 

"Jewish Bucket List"

Our tradition tells us that a full Jewish life involves our head, heart, and hands. So, the unique part of the Chai Mitzvah program is that participants are encouraged to build their "Jewish Bucket List". It is important for participants to identify what is personally meaningful to them by incorporating:

  • Study - something you’ve always wanted to know something more about – culture history, language, literature, anything!
  • Spirituality - A new or deepened spiritual practice or ritual - add to your life spiritually – maybe it’s prayer, or meditation, or a ritual
  • Social Action - pick some way of giving back to the world; find a social action/social justice project to which you’ll devote some time - big or small - it just has to be meaningful to the individual committing to it.
