Sponsored by Pardes Levavot.

At the Boulder JCC, 3800 Kalmia Avenue.
Join us and discover how to use authentic Tree of Life mysticism, sweet
melodies, and meditative prayer to connect and communicate with God in
deep, intimate relationship; how to "zoom" into God's holy presence;
how to talk to God and listen as God responds, and how to fulfill the
yearnings of heart and soul. Anytime. Anywhere. All in just 20
minutes a day!
Open to people of all faiths and spiritual paths; you "don't have to
be Jewish" to practice 20 Minute Kabbalah.
Please come to this extraordinary Workshop and say to God: "Hineini.
Here I Am."
(Sponsored by
Menorah - JCC)
With Rabbi Nadya Gross
Mondays: January 28, February 4, February 11, 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Location: North Boulder - call 303-434-5583 for directions
Cost: $72 for three sessions
Rabbi Eliezer declared: "Repent one day before your
death." Whereupon his disciples asked: How does one know which day that
is? "Exactly," answered the sage. "For that reason, we ought to live
our lives each day as though it were our last." (Babylonian Talmud)
What is the sum of your life's experience? What is your greatest
regret? What hurts need to be addressed? From whom do you most crave
forgiveness? The Jewish practice of deathbed confession, the vidui, is
finding a new expression, as many are choosing to create a personal
document that is an accurate and personal atONEment. Join Rabbi Nadya
Gross for a three-session workshop and learn how to write, and
regularly update, your vidui as life continues to unfold.

A Jewish man and a Chinese
man were conversing.
The Jewish
man commented upon what a wise people the Chinese are.
"Yes,"
replied the Chinese,
"Our culture is over 4,000 years old. But, you Jews are a very wise
people, too."
The Jewish
man replied, "Yes, our culture is over 5,000 years old."
The
Chinese man was incredulous, "That's impossible," he replied. "Where
did your people eat for a thousand years?
