Why the Jewish Holidays are Wise
Limudim Adult Ed Presents Why the Jewish Holidays are Wise with Sara Lynn Newberger
Each Jewish holiday connects rituals to values to stories, allowing for many points of access and opportunities for connection. Exploring these elements of holidays can enrich traditional practice, make space for innovation, and provide us with opportunities to reflect on our lives, our values and our stories. We will look at a few holidays as models and consider resources for further learning.
