• B. The Spirituality of the 10 Commandments – Part 2

  Wednesdays at 10:30am

  Feb 28, March 7, 14, 21, Apr. 11

  Taught by Rabbi Tracee Rosen

   Please feel free to join, even if you didn’t attend Part 1.
  Contrary to popular opinion, “The 10 Commandments” are not the list of the 10 most important mitzvot in the Torah. Understood properly, each mitzvah represents a category of beliefs and behaviors meant to cultivate a specific aspect of our characters. Each week, we are examining in-depth one of the “commandments” or categories and how it has been viewed by Jewish tradition over the centuries. What we learn about ourselves and others will surprise you.

  If you are new to the group, there will be a 1/2 hour introduction on 2/21 at 10:30 am.

• The Days of Awe: Values for Women’s Leadership

  Thursdays at noon

  Sep. 11, 18, 25; Oct. 9, 16

  Taught by Rabbi Emily Langowitz

  The themes of the High Holidays are timeless, and each year encourage us to grow personally and spiritually. In this five-session course, we’ll take an hour each week to explore those themes in a new way: through the lens of women’s leadership. Join an inspiring group of women to learn how these holidays and their traditions – both ancient and new – can encourage our group as leaders and as Jewish women.

  As we study Rosh Hashanah we will consider the power of tapping into our creativity. The themes of Yom Kippur will teach us about how to shoulder the burdens of leadership. We will explore the values of vulnerability and impermanence as we study Sukkot, and we’ll conclude our time together drawing inspiration on how to write and re-write our own narratives with Simchat Torah as our guide.

  Looking for a way to pour back into yourself during this season? Join us on zoom during your lunch hour for learning, community, and inspiration. All women are welcome – whether a WLI alum or new to our work!
