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

Dec 12Psalms - Brown Bag Series with Rabbi Diane Tiferet
Thursday, Dec 12th 12:00p to 1:00p
Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi believed deeply that each of us have the capacity to communicate directly with God, yet often we are at a loss as to where to begin. What better place to begin our collective search than with our age-old prayers, the psalms (tehillim) of the Hebrew Bible?* This lunchtime brown bag series will explore four different psalms as a way into both a deeper 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 Jewish Renewal has highlighted and elevated others through chants and songs. And yet there is so much more to uncover! We will begin our exploration this fall with Psalm 81, the psalm sung in Jerusalem by the Levites on Thursdays. In the next two sessions, we will turn our attention to Psalm 40 – a relatively unknown psalm – and Psalm 23 – a classic psalm of comfort. At our fourth meeting, we will discuss Psalm 30, traditionally associated with Chanuka, and also often recited as part of the morning liturgy. Ideally, 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 you 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. -
