Helping Ari and Shirly
Ari Saponar is feeling
better, recovering from his shattered femur and the surgery. However
his mother Shirly Pugatzy is feeling sick. They need your help! Shirly
has asked for people to contact her directly. Their long term needs
are becoming clear. Some days they will need help and other days
not. Especially needed are people to help Ari with his homework, since
he can't leave home and go to school. Their phone number is
303.443.1589, or cell phone at 720.987.5592.

Walking
the Path with the
Baal Shem Tov
Winter Shabbaton with Rabbi
Ruth Gan Kagan
Over the past few years I have developed a deep connection to the Baal
Shem Tov and his
teachings. I found in them
profound guidance to the
spiritual quest of the modern seeker. These oral teachings, brought to
us through the lenses of different students, are gems of wisdom and
surprises. I would like to invite you to this Shabbaton to share with
me this adventure of walking the path with a timeless Master.
You may sign up for the full experience (highly recommended) or join us
for an individual session. The Shabbaton will be led in a way that each
segment is both freestanding while being part of a whole experience. It
is suited for all levels of learning. The Shabbaton includes a light
third meal of 'herring and shnapps'.
When: Shabbat Vayechi
(Chazak), Friday-Saturday 5-6 January, 2007
Session I: Friday 9-10:30 PM
Session II: Saturday 3:45-5:30 PM (5:30 Havdalah)
Session III: Saturday 6-8 PM
Where: Congregation Bonai Shalom, 1527 Cherryvale Road, Boulder, 80303.
Sliding Scale Tuition:
Full Shabbaton – $54 -
$90
Each Session - $18 -$36
Scholarships are also available.

Rabbi Ruth Gan Kagan is from Jerusalem. She teaches classes and
workshops on prayer, on creating an intimate relationship with the
Divine, and
on connecting to God
through
joy. Reb Ruth, who spent two
years in Boulder in 2001-2003, is happy to be back to share these
teachings.
ALEPH in Israel! Deadline
is THURSDAY THIS WEEK!
Rabbis Victor and Nadya
strongly urge folks to consider this amazing opportunity to see Israel
through the spiritual lens that is Rabbi Marcia Prager's and Hazzan
Jack Kessler's special gift.
