Chant and Meditation will resume next week following a brief summer

September 3rd as the magic begins again.
We are inviting
participation in High HolyDays services and preparation. We need
musicians, singers, torah readers, poets and other contributions to the
services. Please contact rabbis@pardeslevavot.org
if you are interested. We also seek volunteers to be the "Levites",
coordinating all the preparation, including decorating the sanctuary,
preparation of food, creative outreach to the unaffiliated, and more.
Contact info@pardeslevavot.org
if you would like to participate.
Come join us for
a six-day outdoor meditation retreat during the Democratic National
Convention. It's an interfaith gathering with meditation teachers from
the Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Native American, and
African spiritual traditions. The teachers will offer brief talks and
short periods of guided meditation. There will also be a yoga class
every morning, and entertainment in the evenings after 7:00.
The event will take place at Fishback Landing Park, between the
Downtown Aquarium and the REI Superstore (near Confluence Park.) The
program begins Saturday morning, August 23, and continues through
Thursday afternoon, August 28. For more information, please go to our
website, www.meditate08.org
On Saturday evening, August 23rd we're holding an opening ceremony from
5:30 to 6:30 at the Green at DenverAquarium (700 Water Street). It's an
outdoor event with entertainment and invited guests. Please bring a
picnic blanket or lawn chair to sit on. Consult the website for more
information.
All events are free and open to the public.
Rabbis Nadya and Victor will be among the many wonderful teachers
leading a segment of the week's contemplative practice, on Wednesday,

A little old lady gets onto a crowded bus and stands in front of a
seated young girl. Holding her hand to her chest, she says to the girl,
"If you knew what I have, you would give me your seat." The girl gets
up and gives up the seat.
The girl then takes out a fan and fans herself. The woman looks up and
says, "If you knew what I have, you would give me that fan." The girl
gives her the fan.
Fifteen minutes later the woman gets up and says to the bus driver,
"Stop, I want to get off here." The bus driver tells her he has to drop
her at the next corner, not in the middle of the block. Her hand across
her chest, she tells the driver, "If you knew what I have, you would
let me out here." The bus driver pulls over and opens the door to let
her out.
As she's walking out of the bus, he asks, "Madam, what is it you have?"
"Chutzpah," she replies.
