Programs for post B’nai Mitzvah and Teens
Teen Torah Talk: An Affirmation Class for students in 8th - 11th grades
Judaism is about passing traditions from generation to generation, family values and Jewish ethics. It is about Shabbat and holiday life, and how we treat each other. The way we live our lives depends on demonstrating these values and ethics, and the continued affirmation of our Jewish identity. In this class we will answer: Is Torah still relevant to my life? What is Eco-Judaism? Does the Torah address...sibling rivalry?...gossip?...relationship building?...personal destiny? Come join other Boulder teens (8th grade and above) in text study and lively group discussions, as we discover how our ancient stories are awesome teachers.
Contact Charna at charnarose@aol.com for more information.
Monday evenings, twice a month, 6:30pm - 8pm at Nevei Kodesh • Taught by Maggid Charna Rosenholtz, Student Rabbi • all are welcome • $318 year
Dance & Speak Out: Arts-based Tikkun Olam class for students in 8th - 12th grades
Dance/Speak out will be a community group for 8-12th graders that uses dance, spoken word, and other artist avenues to deepen our relationship to ourselves and expand the impact we have on the world- working with the Jewish values of Tikkun Olam. Led by Jenny Schiff each session will begin with the movement mediation practice Schiff-ting* followed by a short jazz or modern dance class. Students will discuss the places in themselves and the world that have the most need and short pieces of choreography and spoken word will be facilitated by Jenny. Students will have the opportunity to bring their artistic skills to the process and there will be showings periodically through the semester.
Let us be the radical voice/inspiration of society by allowing people to experience the world through us. *Schiff-ting is a movement improvisation technique developed by Jenny Schiff that uses breath and movement to explore and express the sensations living inside the cells of the body.
Thursday afternoons, twice a month, 4:15pm - 6:15pm at Nevei Kodesh • Taught by Jenny Schiff • all are welcome • $318 year

MarMarch 3 , 2020The World of Dreams Series
Tuesday, Mar 3rd 7:00p to 8:30p
The World of Dreams In Hebrew, we speak of “opening” a dream, which our sages likened to an unopened letter. In this series of classes, we will examine our dreams in the tradition of my teacher, Mme. Colette Aboulker-Muscat, who inherited this practice from her family and developed it in advanced study. She not only taught us ways to “open” our dreams, but also ways to “repair” dreams that require tikkun, by a practice called “waking dream”. In preparation for this class, I suggest the following: Put a new unlined notebook and pen or pencil by your bed. Before going to sleep, write the following day’s date at the top of the page. Reach for it the next morning as soon as you waken, and write or draw whatever you remember. Full sentences are not required. Eve Ilsen is a psychotherapist and rabbinic pastor. She has lived, worked and learned in New York, Philadelphia, California, Alaska and Israel. She learned to work with imagery and waking dream daily with Mme. Colette Aboulker-Muscat in Jerusalem for four years. Returning to the States, she spearheaded the Wisdom School with her late husband, Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, and taught in tandem with him as well as her own classes. -

MarMarch 5 , 2020Psalms Brown Bag Series with Rabbi Diane Tiferet Lakein
Thursday, Mar 5th 12:00p to 1:00p
Ivdu et Hashem b’Simcha – Let us serve YHVH with joy! (Psalm 100: 2) Psalms Brown Bag Series with Rabbi Diane Tiferet Lakein: Nevei Kodesh, Thursdays 12 – 1pm February 13, 20, 27, March 5 $10 Nevei Kodesh members/$12 guests This lunchtime brown bag series will explore four different psalms as a way into both a richer understanding of the Jewish traditional texts and a deeper appreciation of our own souls’ yearnings.* Over the centuries, the redactors of our prayer books (siddurim) have chosen particular psalms as part of the standardized liturgy, and contemporary communities have highlighted and elevated others through chants and songs. And yet there is so much more to uncover! My hope is that we will come to build a sense of community through our sustained exploration of different psalms together over time. I also pray that our engagement with a variety of psalms will offer a window into the tremendous richness to be found in these traditional texts of prayer. *No Hebrew is required. The texts will be provided both in Hebrew and in traditional and alternative English translations, including those of Rebbe Zalman himself. Drop-ins are welcome. -
