Over three sessions we will explore three different soul traits (Anavah – Taking Up Space\, Histapkut – Enoughness\, and Hachna’ah – Yielding) and use them to engage in mindfulness and personal transformation. This course is designed as a three-part series\, and each session will also stand on its own (in other words\, register even if you can’t make all three!). In October\, we will undertake a brief introduction to Mussar including its history and purpose. The soul trait of Anavah\, literally translated as humility\, will be studied as a way to examine how much “space” we are taking up in the world around us. \n\n\n \nIn November we will devote our learning to Histapkut\, literally translated as simplicity\, and discuss the ways we do or don’t find satisfaction in our lives. In December we turn to Hachna’ah\, literally translated as submission\, and explore those things to which we submit and those to which we must not. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Upcoming Events\n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Shabbat with YAD\n Slow down\, unplug from the week and build community over Shabbat dinner.

But what about the zealous nature of those who led the rebellion against the Hasmoneans? In this one-off lunch and learn\, join Rabbi Jessy in an exploration of what we gain and what we lose when we lean into fanaticism. This learning will take a deeper dive into the Hannukah story and consider the benefits and losses of a group who was relentlessly unwilling to conform to the pressures of a governing body that insisted they shed their Jewish customs and commitments. \n\n\n \nBYO lunch and Rabbi Jessy will provide the food for thought — along with group discussion — which will be what nourishes all who come around the table. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Upcoming Events\n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Shabbat with YAD\n Slow down\, unplug from the week and build community over Shabbat dinner.
