This month we will focus on the shift from taking stock of our lives during the beginning of the new year to the inner work of personal transformation.  What good is review and reflection in our lives if we don't DO something with the insights we gleaned during that introspection.  So this month we step into the cycle of the real work of our lives to embody and embrace change.

Simchat Torah: Opening to Newness! SUN 10/11 at 6:30 p.m.

 

Simchat Torah:  Opening to Newness! 

THIS SUNDAY EVENING... 

October 11th   ~   6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

with Lisa Kaye & Justine Halliwill 

at the Center for Spiritual Living

390 Vernal, Eugene 

 (cross streets Coburg Rd/Rustic Pl, east of Blockbusters) 

Come Celebrate With Us!!!

 

"Whatever you find here in Torah is also inside you.  This is the map.  You are the landscape."  

 Rabbi Shefa Gold 

 

Rabbi Seidel had to cancel participating with us at the last minute but Rabbi Shefa Gold came to the rescue and together with Lisa Kaye helped design a renewal-focused celebration filled with chanting, singing, dancing and an invitation to experience TORAH in a new and personal way.

 

Justine Halliwill will co-lead the chanting and add her creative spark to the celebration including drumming to help raise the sparks of celebration for each of us!

Torah is not just a static scroll of the first five books of the old testament.  "Torah" can be translated from Hebrew as 'learning, or instruction'.  Rabbi Shefa says that the Torah scroll is just a 'mirror', that the 'real Torah' is the Torah of our lives.  So come explore the landscape of YOUR Torah, your truths, your learnings and celebrate the process of completion and new beginnings. 

 

On Simchat Torah we literally roll-back the Torah to start again.  What in your life do you need to roll back?  Where do your new beginnings need to start?  Torah gives us that opportunity every year and Simchat Torah is the point of transition from completion to beginning anew. 

 

Be there when it happens.  Be ready with us to step into the newness of Torah all over again!

 

Donations accepted.

Everyone welcome whatever your spiritual path. 

See you this Sunday evening at 6:30 pm!

 

Lisa Kaye & Justine Halliwill

 

P.S.  We thank Rabbi Hanan Sills and congregation Ad Olam for offering to share their Torah with us for this Simchat Torah celebration!
