Reflections on Freedom: Meditation and the Passover Journey - 3 Session Course
Taught By Seth Castleman
March 21, April 4, and April 11, 2010
9:45AM - 11:15AM
Location: Temple Emunah Lexington
9 Piper Road
Lexington, MA 02421-8199
At the center of Passover lies the theme of freedom. Yet the story and the rituals are less about achieving freedom, or even the journey. Instead they focus on preparing for the journey towards freedom. So how do we prepare? The Torah teaches that this necessitates cultivating our kavanna, our intention and attention, an awareness of heart and mind. "Prepare yourself… and The Divine will be before your eyes." (Ex. 19.11)
Using the Passover story as our guide, this three-part course will include meditation instruction, silence, and teachings as we prepare for and embark on the journey towards freedom. It is appropriate for beginning as well as experienced meditators.
The freedom we seek begins with the act of seeking itself.
Cost: By 3/7 Temple Emunah Members: $55, Non-members $65.
After 3/7 Temple Emunah Members $60, Non-members $70.
