Conscious Eating as a Mitzvah the Torah Way

Most people are not aware that serving Hashem through eating is not an optional mitzvah, but rather its importance is on par with learning Torah and praying. Actually, the ability to keep Torah and mitzvoth is dependent on the holiness of our eating. Lustful eating is the root of all evil, which caused the first downfall of humanity in the Garden of Eden. Through the mitzvah of eating in holiness, we can rectify eating from the Tree of Knowledge and bring geulah (redemption). In addition to textual learning and discussion of Torah sources, commentaries, Midrash, Zohar and various Chassidic commentaries, this shiur includes an eating meditation and  offers practical tools of how to work on eating in holiness.

From Chava to the Mother of Mashiach

This lecture addresses the fragmentation between women’s different roles, i.e. the tension between the role of wife and mother and women’s aspirations in Torah learning and successful careers. The phenomena of older single women, becoming more and more common in our time and age will also be addressed. Based on Arizal’s writing on the connection between Chava, Rachel, Leah and Ruth, and its relevance to the changing role of women, it becomes clear that the fragmentation of women is rooted in the fabric of the creation of the first woman. This fragmentation reflects the evolvement of the Shechina to be revealed in the world. Throughout the generations, a gradual rectification of womanhood and a unification of our split personality are taking place. In the future to come our roles will merge and become unified, as the Shechina will fill the entire world.

Forgive and Let Live

A Forgiveness Workshop for Spiritual Healing and Ahavas Yisrael

How can we love another Jew completely if we hold onto old grudges and hurts?

Even if we have learned much about the importance to forgive, it may still be hard to actually change the feelings in our heart. In this workshop we will not only learn Torah sources on how to forgive ourselves and others, we will do guided visualization and practice spiritual healing (EmunaHealing) exercises to clear negative feelings from the heart.  Learning to open our heart energy center Tiferet, will help break our “heart walls” and enable love to flow freely into and out of our heart. The workshop includes a comprehensive source sheet in Hebrew and English integrating, Bible texts, Midrash, Chassidism and Kabbalah with EmunaHealing tools on forgiveness and clearing emotional and spiritual blocks that prevent us from giving and receiving love.

The Tree of Life – The Ten Sefirot of Healing

The Tree of Life serves as interface between Hashem’s infinite light and the physical reality we experience. All healing emanates from Hashem’s light which spirals down to us in the ten vessels of creation – the Ten Sefirot of the Tree of Life – the Divine manifestations within the world. Learn about the energy, element and correspondent organ(s) of each of the Sefirot, and how to use them in spiritual healing. The workshop includes practical exercises for opening, activating, strengthening and balancing your personal Tree of Life. The learning is accompanied by a comprehensive source sheet in Hebrew and English integrating, Bible texts, Midrash, Chassidism and Kabbalah, as well as various Sefirot/body charts.
