Description:

Facing our Darkness: Purim, Catharsis, and Jewish Mindfulness
Rabbi Jordan Bendat-Appell
7:30-8:30 PM on Thursday, March 1
What do we do with the darkness that we may find within ourselves? Can we ignore it? Cover the darkness over with goodness? Transform it? This session will use Megillat Esther as an entry point into a study and discussion of these ideas. We will discuss, and then experience, how Jewish Mindfulness meditation draws on both the Hasidic and Mussar traditions to offer a healthy and effective practice for facing our darkness.
