SUMMARY:Al Shloshah D'varim: A Jewish and a Psychoanalytic View on Aging with Dr. Allen Siegel
DESCRIPTION:Member Registration  Guest Registration \nHow might Jewish and psychoanalytic perspectives on aging be related? This class will explore how these differing ways of understanding are strands that can be woven into a singular\, braided understanding that can lighten the insidious process of aging. \nAn understanding of the emotional changes that occur with aging benefits from a broader understanding of human psychology. With that in mind\, our first session will study the contributions of 20th-century Chicago psychoanalyst Heinz Kohut and his revolutionary understanding of the human condition. \nIn our second session\, we’ll compare Kohut’s foundational ideas about the human condition with the foundational Judaic ideas expressed metaphorically in Al Shloshah D’varim (from Pirke Avot). These foundational d’varim are so important that the 16th-century Rabbi Isaac Luria references them in his prescription for tikkun olam. We’ll question what makes these words so special for Luria and how they might relate to the psychology of aging. \nOur third and final session will engage both Kohut and Rabbi Luria as we traverse the roads of aging that inevitably lead to our own ends. Talk about our endings is neither popular nor easy. Still\, the reality of “endings” emerges naturally from within our conversation about aging as we explore the meanings of life’s supporting d’varim.

SUMMARY:Gesher (Thursdays)
DESCRIPTION:Gesher (the Hebrew word for bridge) is designed to bridge the growth of our 7th grade students from children in the Jewish community to being adults. \nOur students spend this year advancing their understanding of Judaism as a religion\, community\, and culture as they begin the next stage of their Jewish identities. \nGesher’s goal is to help students identify their values and ways to live accordingly — an important skill at an age full of change. The Gesher curriculum explores the themes of peoplehood\, identity\, sexuality and relationships\, leadership\, spirituality\, and religious pluralism through a Jewish lens. Gesher is an environment that nurtures conversation. That’s why we spend this time exploring social issues including religious pluralism\, mental health\, technology safety\, and healthy friendships. \nA significant portion of the year is dedicated to learning and discussing issues relating to relationships\, their bodies\, and sex and sexuality in a safe and non-judgmental environment. Trained educators help facilitate age-appropriate learning and growth that goes beyond what is included in a public school’s education to more fully explore the spiritual and emotional elements involved in these issues. Utilizing lessons from the Our Whole Lives curriculum together with original content developed by Beth Emet educators\, students are prepared to make thoughtful and informed choices as young Jews. \nWe believe that seventh grade is a critical year in the development of identity both Jewish and otherwise. The Gesher program helps students and parents navigate what can be a challenging experience in a way that promotes the love of Judaism\, a sense of community\, and healthy relationships. \n*To accommodate for the time 7th graders spend studying for their Kabbalat Mitzvah outside of class\, Gesher meets slightly less often than Beit Sefer. \nEach of our teen classes encourage students to explore Judaism\, while thinking critically about their own roles and responsibilities in the world.\nWe approach social justice as an important lifelong mitzvah and aim to build skills to make a difference in the world.

SUMMARY:Beit Sefer (Thursdays)
DESCRIPTION:Judaic studies and prayer-based Hebrew instruction are taught for one hour each on Thursdays and Sundays. We use the Reform Movement’s Chai curriculum which is based on the fundamental pillars of Judaism: Torah (text)\, Avodah (worship)\, and Gemilut Chasadim (acts of loving-kindness). \nTogether with our Cantor and teachers\, students focus on specific aspects of the prayer service and engage in Gemilut Chasadim and Mitzvot that improve our world. Each grade level also focuses on age-appropriate aspects of the Jewish holidays as well as the people and land of Israel. Special events and programs for parents/caregivers with students are included throughout the school year.
