Walking With Torah
Spring Session
In this class, we will use the weekly Torah portion as our guide. Each week, we will open up one core value and teaching from the weekly parasha and use it to respond to the question: what kind of life is the Torah guiding me towards? Each class will interweave Torah text with a variety of spiritual texts - midrash, Jewish thought, Hasidic teachings, poetry and contemporary exegesis - to add layers of meaning to the core Torah teaching and help us explore the essential questions and ethical values of living a life while walking with Torah. All are welcome.

Finding Torah in Unexpected Places:
A Day Retreat for Shavuot
Tuesday, May 19th - 10 am - 3 pm
@Elawa Farm - 1401 Middlefork Dr., Lake Forest, IL
Led by Rebecca Minkus Lieberman and Deb Wineman
What is Torah? Where do we seek it?
The holiday of Shavuot marks the climactic experience of receiving the gift of Torah at Mount Sinai. We are taught that we did not just receive the Torah at that one moment in time; rather, we are receiving - and creating - Torah anew every day, in each moment. The story that we read on Shavuot - the Scroll of Ruth the Moabite - illuminates the ways in which the most powerful Torah can arise out of the most unexpected and peripheral of places. In this special day retreat for Shavuot, we will explore questions of belonging and identity, love and kindness, risk and reward, and how they all play a role in our personal and collective search for a transformative relationship to Torah in our lives.
The retreat will include group learning and conversation, quiet time in nature, mindfulness and embodied practice, opportunities for personal and creative reflection, and a shared vegetarian farm-to-table lunch.
