Exploring Kabbalah @ Temple B'nai Abraham

Temple B\'nai Abraham Sisterhood will present a program entitled Exploring Kabbalah, with Rabbi Lisa Goldstein, Executive Director of the Institute for Jewish Spirituality, located in NYC on Monday, May 12, at 8:00 PM Rabbi Lisa Goldstein is the Executive Director of the Institute for Jewish Spirituality. A California native, she was previously the Executive Director of Hillel of San Diego where she garnered local and national recognition for her devotion to students and her leadership. She has been a service learning group leader for the American World Service and as a Mandel Jerusalem Fellow in 2009-20110, she designed a new methodology for combining local justice work and contemplative practice within a Jewish framework. She teaches Jewish meditation in a variety of contexts and enjoys climbing mountains (most recently Mt Toubkal in Morocco) for the view and for the beauty along the way. The Institute for Jewish Spirituality seeks to transform Jewish life. By helping clergy and leaders embrace contemplative practices such as Torah study, prayer, meditation, yoga and immersive retreats, we provide them with valuable skills for effective leadership while creating opportunities to deepen their spiritual lives and connect meaningfully with the Divine.By strengthening our leaders and clergy in this way, we introduce communities and institutions to new forms of authentic Jewish practice, enrich everyday life with Jewish wisdom, link the search for inner wholeness with tikkun olam, and create a vibrant, enduring Judaism for the next generations. Rabbi Goldstein will be exploring Kabbalah and the sefirot, which is both a way to understand Divinity and a useful tool and even a road map for developing our own spiritual lives. This event is free and open to the community. RSVP or for more information, please call 973-994-2290.
