Hide and Seek, a journey into the story of Adam and Eve, is a 6 part series, open to all, that will explore how we interact with Jewish text. Our time will be spent getting to know the story's characters and observing the way we relate to them. When we gather, we will focus on the way we connect to the text and why. We will use various art mediums to reveal aspects of the story and of ourselves that we may have not noticed before. The hope is that everyone who participates walks away with a new perspective on the story of Adam and Eve and with a whole bag of helpful resources to use when engaging with other Jewish sources. 

Spaces are limited — register HERE.

Meets on the following Thursdays from 6:00-7:30pm: November 6, November 13, November 20, December 4, December 11, December 18

Location: Gottlieb Auditorium @B'nai Jeshurun Congregation

Join Rabbi Alex in Gottlieb Auditorium for this 90-minute alternative wellness service every month. 

What can you expect from a Kavvvanah Minyan service?

• Kavvanah Minyan is an intimate and interactive service that brings people together from across the Cleveland Jewish community — all are welcome. (A kids’ play/pray space is set up in the room for any families who want to join us!)

• As you come in, grab the handouts from the welcome table, and then come inside for a refreshing cup of coffee/tea, available throughout the service. Peruse the art, introduce yourself to a neighbor, and find a seat!

• We begin with a niggun, a wordless melody.

• Pesukei D’Zimra (introductory prayers): We engage in a gratitude exercise based on Birkot Hashachar (traditional blessings of the morning), followed by different prayers to melodies both old and new. We conclude Pesukei D’Zimra with a mindfulness practice, inspired by Nishmat Kol Chai (a prayer that uplifts breath as a vehicle for praise)

• Shacharit (morning prayer service): We recite and sing the core prayers (Shema, Amidah, and the blessings around them)

• Torah Service: We engage in chevruta study — looking at passages from the weekly Torah portion in small groups, discussing their meaning and connection to our lives. We discuss as a group, and then we conclude our Torah Service with a prayer for healing.

• Musaf: As Musaf is literally an “additional” offering of prayers (and historically, sacrifices), we turn to alternative readings, poems, and art based on the theme of Kavvanah Minyan that day. We conclude services with Aleinu, Mourner’s Kaddish, and Adon Olam.

Come experience a Taste of Tai Chi with our very own Yingli Wolinsky, George & Joyce Becker. 

Tai Chi is rooted in the Chinese concept, 天人合一  (Tiān rén hé yī) — the body and universe are one. Through a consistent practice, we cultivate an inward strength, a sense of balance and centeredness, and a fluidity with the universe within and outside of our bodies. The Jewish tradition also believes that every person is a universe — Olam Maleh — עוֹלָם מָלֵא. That our bodies are holy containers for the soul, traversing both the physical and spiritual worlds.  

This initial program will give you a taste of Tai Chi basics and philosophy, in addition to a more advanced Tai Chi demonstration. 

Open to all ages and levels of experience!
