“Listen! Israel, Listen! Still the mind’s chatter, quiet the heart’s desire…This One alone is God.” (Rabbi Rami Shapiro)
This class, taught by Rabbi Diane Tiferet Lakein, will invite us to engage with one of our core prayers – “the Sh’ma” – with beginner eyes, ears and mind. Come and taste the rich layers of theology that this One-liner (and the paragraphs that follow) offers those curious and adventurous enough to listen wholeheartedly. In addition to exploring our own unique yearnings, we will learn about the spiritual history of the Sh’ma and experiment with diverse spiritual practices that use this prayer to experience (or, at the very least, approach) Presence.
Spend the month between Purim and Pesach cleansing your spiritual house, while cleaning your material home – which, seen through the lens of the Sh’ma, are perhaps, in fact, one and the same!
Week One: Beginnings – Settling down, settling in
Week Two: Inviting Presence – Experiencing Oneness
Week Three: Awakenings – Setting wisdom upon our hearts
Week Four: Listening up, leaning in – Guarding mouths, marking doorposts
You may take the class at noon on Wednesdays or Thursday evenings. If you sign up for the entire series and need to shift class day/time in any week you will be allowed to do so. Please register separately to take this series on Thursdays.
Cost: $10 members/$12 guests per class; $36/$48 for those registering for the full series
While the classes build on one another, drop-ins are always welcome
