Politics and Dissidence

Led By David Ponet

On Zoom

What does it mean to speak truth to power? What is the relationship between freedom and dissidence? We live in a screen-based world beset by climate change, disinformation, social isolation, and rising oligarchy. In this context it behooves us to probe the relationship between freedom and dissidence. This chevruta will explore how individuals can express truths, or offer voices of dissent - sometimes against overwhelming forces of oppression. The textual basis will include Arendt's "Truth and Politics," Vaclav Havel's "The Power of the Powerless," and the Book of Job.

Kabbalah & Healing

Led By Jeff Casper

On Zoom

This Chevrutah looks to offer an embodied sense of the healing potential of Kabbalah.  We'll review some of the key concepts that Rabbi Abby introduced last year, guided by writings from Torah, the Sefer Yetzirah, the Zohar, the Ari, and more modern interpreters like Aryeh Kablan and Jason Shulman.  Through discussion and practice, we'll experiment with how these apparent metaphors actually live in our own hearts, minds, and bodies, what they have to teach us about both healing and suffering, and how they might guide us towards Wholeness.
