The Gift of Elul: Finding Our Footprints Home

Each year, the Hebrew month of Elul offers us a gift - 4 weeks to step back from our routines and turn inwards to begin the work of cheshbon ha’nefesh - the inner accounting of our souls. This gift is precious and also daunting, and it helps to begin the work with a community of supportive peers. This Elul, we will all be asking new questions about ourselves, our communities, our identities in light of the challenging year we have experienced. The work of the High Holiday season is the work of Teshuva: a chance to return home to what is most essential and core to who we want to be in our lives. In this 4-session class, we will turn to Jewish texts - ancient and modern - and non-Jewish sources of wisdom to help open up these questions of our soul. The classes will interweave study, group discussion, private reflection, and exercises to craft your own rituals to guide you into the new Jewish year of 5785. 

Admission: $125.00
Location: Zoom
