PARDES LEVAVOT
Events
This Week
The Sabbath:
A Taste Of Eternity
Friday and
Saturday, June 19-20
Pardes Levavot is honored to host this Shabbat retreat, sponsored by
the Circle of Interspirituality.
The Circle of Interspirituality (CoI) is dedicated to cultivating unity
among the great world religions, and our common relationship to the
Divine Life. We do not advocate for a watering down of any tradition.
We do encourage the practice of "deep ecumenism", an intentional, open
and respectful engagement with other traditions, where the truth is
found and revealed.
The retreat will begin at 7:00 pm on Friday with Kabbalat Shabbat and a
teaching on The Sabbath: A Sanctuary in Time. Shabbat day will begin at
9:00 am and conclude at 6 pm. The day will include an introduction to
the rhythm of Shabbat, a contemplative Shabbat morning service,
followed by lunch, Torah learning and interfaith dialog throughout the
day, punctuated with periods of meditation and chant.
We hope you'll join us for the full retreat. To register, please call
303-776-1460 or 303-684-9397. $50 fee includes lunch and the full
Shabbat experience.
If you will be attending services, only - the Friday evening service
begins at 7:00 pm; Shabbat morning at 10:00 am.

Moishe owned one of the biggest and fastest-growing businesses in
Miami, a furniture store. Relatives convinced him that he needed to
take a trip to Italy to check out the merchandise himself, and because
he was still single, he could check out all the Italian women, and
maybe...
As Moishe was checking into a hotel he struck up an acquaintance with a
beautiful young lady. She only spoke Italian and he only spoke English,
so neither understood a word the other spoke.
He took out a pencil and a notebook and drew a picture of a taxi. She
smiled, nodded her head and they went for a ride in the park.
Later, he drew a picture of a table in a restaurant with a question
mark and she nodded, so they went to dinner.
After dinner he sketched two dancers and she was delighted. They went
to several nightclubs, drank champagne, danced and had a glorious
evening.
It had gotten quite late when she motioned for the pencil and drew a
picture of a four-poster bed. Moishe was dumbfounded, and to this day
remarks that he's never been able to understand how she knew he was in
the furniture business.
