SPECIAL MEMBER NEEDS/OFFERINGS
Sacred Garment: Women and
Tefilin
Tefilin are called in our
holy sources, a sign, “ot.” Even though the Torah exempted women from
wearing them, there is no prohibition against it. The Talmud says that
if women wish to put on tefilin, we should not stand in their way.
Moreover, the women are rewarded for it. What are Tefilin? May women
wear Tefilin? What is prayer? Can Tefilin help us to pray? How can
Tefilin contribute to our spiritual practice? Come! Learn and
experience how Tefilin can help you to connect heart, mind and soul to
divine energy.
When: February 18, 1:00 – 5:00 PM
Where: Bonai Shalom, 1527 Cherryvale Road, Boulder, CO 80303
Fee: $10
The class is taught by
Ori Har, spiritual director and rabbinic student. If you are interested in
participating, please RSVP to Sara Hollander. E-mail: sandiji2@yahoo.com Phone:
303.499.0312
If you have a set of Tefilin at home please bring it to class.
Embracing Your Power Woman
Embracing Your Power Woman:
11 Steps to Coming of Age in Mid-Life. 13 week course with Barbara
Wilder, author of the book of the same title. In this 13 week deeply

depths of your psyche and connect with your soul's purpose. Deepak
Chopra says, "Barbara helps women access and nourish their deepest
selves." Shirley MacLaine says, "Embracing Your Power Woman is a required course for women,
middle aged and beyond, whose voices need to sing. It is a
life-shifting book for each of us to learn from."

Temple of Song: the
Ecstasy of Hebrew Chanting
Temple of Song: the Ecstasy
of Hebrew Chanting with Eyal Rivlin and Danya Uriel, a Naropa
Continuing Education Class. Chanting works! Hebrew chanting invokes the
collective consciousness of four millennia of ancient mystical
teachings. In this experiential workshop, chants and nigguns will be
explored along with attunements (kavvanot) and contemplations into the
deeper meanings of the ancient Hebrew prayers and mantras. These
powerful chants can be used for meditation, healing, prayer, and as
vehicles to connect with the spiraling rhythm of the Jewish year. No
previous musical background or knowledge of Hebrew is necessary. This
class will be offered in a safe and open-hearted environment, with live
accompaniment. Thursdays, February 22–April 12, 7–9 p.m. Non-credit:
$245, or $208.25 by February 3. For location and registration
information please contact: Naropa University’s Extended Studies
Department. 303-245-4800. naropa.edu/extend/wisdom.cfm
