SUMMARY:Martin Buber’s Heart and Mind
DESCRIPTION:A Three-week class with Larry Goldsmith and Rabbi Sandy Rubenstein \nMartin Buber was one of the most influential Jewish thinkers of the 20th century whose life story and thinking might illuminate our own. What moved him the most and was the basis of his thinking about life were moments of deep connection\, moments of deep connection with nature\, others\, and “callings”. He called such moments\, I-Thou encounters. According to Buber\, this is how one connects with God or with what he called the Eternal Thou. In this three session class\, we will sample some of Buber’s writings that we think best illustrate his intellectual journey. In addition to discussing and digesting his ideas\, we will also have a chance to reflect on his meaningful spiritual guidance and insight for our lives today. \nLARRY GOLDSMITH \nFour decades ago\, Larry just had to read Martin Buber. After several years\, he taught courses on Buber at the Jewish Study Center. Buber’s thinking has directed his life ever since. During those intensive\, youthful times\, Larry planned to teach again\, decades later\, with the benefit of life experience. The kind of seeking that led Larry to Buber\, also led him to spiritual direction. He’s co-led two spiritual direction groups at Adat Shalom since 2014\, first with Zsuzsi Isaacson and now with Rabbi Sandy. Larry needs and enjoys the intellectual heft Buber gives to the more contemplative Spiritual Direction. \nRABBI SANDY RUBENSTEIN \nAn experienced spiritual care provider\, spiritual director\, workshop leader\, board certified chaplain\, and clinical social worker\, Sandy works with seekers of all faiths and no faith Through deep listening\, compassion and respect\, Sandy offers the opportunity for discernment\, discovery of inner wisdom\, and connection to mystery and the sacred. At Adat Shalom\, Sandy most recently co-led the workshop\, Teshuva in Action\, with\nMarla Zipin\, co-leads 2 spiritual direction groups with Larry\, and co- led healing circles through Makom. Sandy is currently planning a contemplative 6 session class focusing on Buber’s book\, The Way of Humanity\, in which Buber offers Hasidic stories and his own thinking about these stories that provide fruitful jumping off points for exploring our own spiritual journeys. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Morning Meditation with Fran Zamore
DESCRIPTION:In this particularly stressful time we have many ways to creatively come together and support one another. Please join us for meditation. I’ll start off with a little teaching and then we will meditate together. Those who have the time and interest can stay on longer to share. I anticipate that teaching and meditation will run about 30 minutes. All are welcome — no experience necessary. Please mute your mic when you come into the zoom meeting. You are encouraged to unmute during our discussion. We have found that background noises seem to be amplified in the meeting.
