Passover
Meditation in preparation for Sinai
RSVP by February 15.
The Haggadah, a story of
the journey towards liberation, can be read and understood on many
levels. As Dr. Estelle Frankel writes in Sacred Therapy, “Jewish
mystics saw Mitrazyim (Egypt) not only as a geographical place but as a
symbol of constricted consciousness.” Through text study and Jewish
meditative practices, participants will embark on their own personal
journey towards inner liberation.
This program is
sponsored by Westchester Jewish Community Services Partners in Caring
and a generous grant from UJA-Federation of New York.
Instructor: Ruth
Rosenblum, LCSW, psychotherapist and focusing trainer

Israel Connections
A
Jewish Mosaic seen through the eyes of Westchester and Jerusalem.
Continuing with our
“twinning” project, a group of Westchester and Israeli educators will
attend an educational conference in Israel. Working together to promote
and expand their vision for a Jewish community, teams of educators will
collaborate throughout the year to formulate innovative programming, and
develop a classroom curriculum fostering individual styles, while
maintaining the commonalities inherent in Judaism. The goal is to bring
the Jerusalem and Westchester communities closer to each other, to
create a Jewish Mosaic.
This is the eighth
year the JCC on the Hudson will partner with the JCC of Mid-Westchester
in Scarsdale and Ginot Ha’ir in Jerusalem. This Jewish Mosaic
project has enabled us to form close working associations with
Congregation Shaarei Tikvah of Scarsdale, Congregation Sons of Israel of
Briarcliff, Temple Beth Abraham of Tarrytown, Woodlands Community Temple
of White Plains, and Solomon
Schechter High School in Hartsdale
whose teachers have brought the spirit of
Israel in
to their
Westchester classrooms. In addition, we have all benefited from working
with the Board of Jewish Education, Westchester Center.
We gratefully
acknowledge the continued funding through a generous grant from UJA-Federation
of New York and the Jewish Agency for Israel.
Me’ah
is a unique in depth two-year Jewish
learning experience presented in partnership with Hebrew College of
Boston. The course work covers the Biblical, Rabbinic, Medieval and
Modern periods of Jewish history and is taught by experts in the
specific course work. Scholars from all walks of Jewish education
participate. Special syllabi are provided and reading is required.
