Ba'al ha-Seder ( Seder "leader") - Mark Strunin
The Tu B'shvat seder is a beautiful, reflective and symbol-rich lesser-known celebration of the Jewish year. Through blessings, study, chanting, meditation and chevruta ( fellowship) , we will explore the connections between human beings, the natural world and the Makom ( "the place" ) wherein All is contained. We'll drink wine, eat fruits and baked delicacies, study from Torah, Midrash and Zohar and let music flow into and from our souls.
All over the age of 13 are welcomed. (Juice for the under 21 crowd). You are invited to bring cushions, pillows or zafus for sitting on the floor and to wear comfortable, loose clothing. You are encouraged to bring 20 copies of your favorite meditations and/or readings from Jewish sources as well as art objects and spiritually rich music.
You are encouraged to bring a homemade dish that uses whole grain wheat in some form. Bring enough for eight people.
No fee, but $5 per person donations to offset the costs are welcomed.
Please RSVP to Janice Schutzman at stenojan@sbcglobal.net by February 3.
