Teshuvah Workshop 5787

Join us for Kirva's annual Teshuvah Workshop, led by Rabbi David Jaffe. We look forward to learning together!

This two-part workshop is open to all and will take place from 7:00-9:00 PM ET on Zoom: 

• Thursday, Sept. 8th

• Wednesday, Sept. 16th

The second session builds on the first, so please come to both sessions if you can! When registering, please select either date listed, and you will be sent Zoom information for both sessions within a week of your registration.

Emerge from the workshop with inspiration for the high holy days, a spiritual action plan for the year, and Jewish spiritual technologies for living a holy life. The workshop draws on wisdom from the Mussar (applied Jewish ethics) and Chassidic (applied Jewish mysticism) traditions within Judaism, and helps participants articulate their path and plan for spiritual development throughout the year. Hone in on your soul curriculum and middot to focus on this year, and learn daily practices to integrate into your personal practice. 

Bring journaling materials. Please let us know if you have access needs to attend the program by letting us know in your registration, or by reaching out to Sam at sam@kirva.org by August 28th if possible.
