SUMMARY:Rescheduled: Entering into Prayer: Seeing Prayer in a New Light with Rabbi Rivka Glick
DESCRIPTION:What is prayer? What are we doing when we pray and why is it so difficult? We will try seeing familiar prayers in a new light\, experiencing prayer as poetry\, love song\, conversation\, education changing our consciousness\, a journey\, or as a clarification of who we are and what we need. All this is prayer. We will also try accessing the prayers through different gates: traditional\, musical\, mindful\, and even mystical approaches. \nRabbi Dr. Rivka (Roberta) Glick began her career working with the poor and treating people with brain tumors and severe trauma on the west side of Chicago at Cook County and Mount Sinai Hospitals. Today she is a rabbi\, an important stop on her spiritual path of connection to herself\, to others\, and to the Divine. Her aspiration continues to be bringing kindness and compassion into the world. \nMembers\, click here to register. \nGuests\, click here to register. \n  \nBeth Emet uses budgeted funds and fees to support our adult education program. This year\, instead of individual registration fees for specific classes\, our goal is to secure $4\,000 in donations to cover our costs. Please consider an optional donation to the adult education fund when you register to help sustain our commitment to lifelong learning.

SUMMARY:Tikkun Middot through the Senses
DESCRIPTION:Tikkun Middot through the Senses will explore the power of creativity as a tool for our own personal renewal and spiritual connection. Using writing\, image making\, music\, movement and prayer\, we will explore how the obstacles and opportunities present in each moment of our lives impact our choices and actions. No prior experience is necessary – just a willing heart and an openness to new avenues of expression.  If you’ve thought about embracing your inner muse with a stance of curiosity\, then this va’ad (group) is for you. \nTikkun Middot–meaning measuring or perfecting positive soul traits such as loving connectedness\, humility\, patience\, gratitude\, and silence–is a process of exploring our inner resources with curiosity and balance as its cornerstones. Through short meditation\, study\, exchange of ideas\, and creative exploration\, each session will help guide the va’ad towards an understanding of how we each act and react in the world. \nThis group is open to new seekers or those already rooted in the practice of Tikkun Middot. We will meet once a month for six months beginning in October through March in person at Beth Emet on Sundays\, 1:00 – 3:00 pm in the Weiner Room.  The group will be limited to 12 participants. As you consider joining us – please first take a look at your calendar to make sure of your availability. \nSue Nadel and Jane Weintraub are excited to facilitate this creative journey\, in person only. Questions? Please feel free to contact one of us!  suenadel@comcast.net  jsweintraub@comcast.net \nClick here for guest registration. \nClick here for member registration.
