NEW: Secrets of Torah Revealed – at Hebrew College Open Circle Jewish Learning – Mysticism Track
I’ll be teaching a 6 session course, fall 2018, giving you a radical new look at Torah that will be liberating, life-changing, and just beautiful. We’ll see how the entire arc of Torah is a tale of the progression of the ancient Israelites, and indeed a call for all humanity, to higher consciousness. And what, at the highest levels, this conscious life looks like. And who you truly are, at your core. We re-envision some of the darker stories – Abraham’s willingness to kill his son, for example, – viewed through a lens that lets the light in, so you will love these stories! Classes are based in Torah text, but there will be meditation, singing, drawing – to help discover your own truths. Hebrew not required – all are welcome.

Intro Classes 2017-2018
In the introductory classes, I’ll share some of the secrets that I have uncovered so that we have a common foundation. But, as always, the teachings are meant as an offering. Whatever does not resonate, everyone is counselled, leave it, until and only if it serves you.
We’ll share our reactions, our stories, listen without judgment to other’s experiences of God, Judaism, other religions, community and self. Through the sharing of stories, song, learning, bread, we’ll begin to form connections, and community.
First intro class (all 3 recommended together, but each can stand alone): New Torah for a Woke Life – First class on Thursday, 11/30/17 @ 7:00-9:00 p.m., Havurat Shalom, 113 College Avenue, Somerville/ We’ll unlock the secrets that Torah has kept throughout the ages, until this very time, when it is right to be revealing the mystery of who you really are. Ancient, universal wisdom revealing our true nature, each human’s unbreakable, direct connection with God, and teachings about our path to greater consciousness. We’ll strengthen ourselves internally, to be able to navigate the external chaos and darkness of the world. Learning, singing, some meditation and drawing/painting – led by R. Ora Weiss.
