Facilitated by Gesher Calmenson

Mondays 12-1 p.m. starting May 4 and running through June 1

An ancient Jewish tradition tells us that the letters of the Hebrew aleph-bet are the building blocks by which G-d created and continues to create the world.  In this series of meetings we will engage the letters one at a time and, as we choose to do, respond to them with our own creativity.

In the first session there will be an introduction and an exploration of one letter.  The format for subsequent meetings will be a 15-minute talk about another letter followed by an open space for participants who want to share their prayers, poems, songs, crafts, drawings, writings, reflections—whatever they have been moved to bring into being in response to the form, sound, and spiritual content of letters visited in previous sessions.     

Register to receive zoom address in order to participate. The requested fee for this course is $36. Sliding scale is available, and free participation for those strapped during this challenging time.
