A Summer Meditative Journey Towards Renewal: Healing the Places of Darkness and Exile with Yocheved Sheila Katz Tuesday evenings, July 7-28th - 7:00PM - 8:30PM       Temple Beth Israel       25 Harvard St, Waltham       (617) 965-6970 What better time to deepen our spiritual practice than with the Jewish holidays of summertime! Summertime Jewish holidays may sound like an oxymoron but they present a unique space for healing. There are the three weeks of mourning from middle of Tamuz through Tisha b'Av followed by 7 weeks of consolation that prepare us for renewal during the High Holidays. The summer holidays give us the safety and structure to delve into and emerge from the places of darkness and exile in our souls and in the world. Join us for a 4 week course using the contemplative practices of silent meditation and chant to examine the spiritual challenges and blessings offered to us at the intersection between this moment in the Jewish calendar and this moment in our lives.
