In this provocative presentation, Rabbi Baruch HaLevi leads audiences in reclaiming a dynamic, sophisticated, and compelling understanding of God not just as "father" and "king" but as "lover," and in experiencing Shabbat as a time for intimacy.
Many Jews feel that Judaism fails to speak to them in meaningful ways and that Jewish institutions and communities have become both stagnant and reactive. In this engaging presentation, Rabbi Baruch HaLevi reignites the fighting Jewish spirit of yesterday in conquering the challenges facing us as individuals, as a community, and as a people today.
There has never been a single way of being Jewish, one type of Judaism, or one type of Jew. We all have a fingerprint. We all have a soul print. It's time to make room for multiple portals of entry and pathways into the Jewish community and within our Jewish institutions and synagogues. In this enlightening presentation, Rabbi Baruch HaLevi leads audiences in cultivating their own unique brand of Judaism.
Based on Rabbi Baruch HaLevi's acclaimed book by the same name, this engaging presentation draws on his great success with his congregation Shirat Hayam in Greater Boston to show what is possible when divine spirit is central to the Jewish experience. He identifies the difference between a living synagogue and a dying one and offers methods of reviving Jewish spiritual centers, federations, community centers, institutions, and synagogues. Rabbi B offers practical strategies for sustaining and expanding transformation, including tips for providing impassioned leadership, inspired programming, and inviting sacred spaces.
Judaism is stagnating. Jewish communities are declining and Jews are walking away from Judaism for many reasons, not the least of which is the "pediatric," "G-rated" version we have perpetuated. On the contrary, Judaism is a sophisticated, adult-oriented, "R-rated" tradition. In this presentation, speaker Rabbi Baruch HaLevi explains to his audience that it is time to reimagine, reinvigorate, and reinspire their tradition, their synagogues, and their people, and that this will happen by reclaiming the erotic, edgy, and liberating truth behind sexuality, spirituality, and Shabbat.
Everyone has confronted, or eventually will have to confront, loss, tragedy, and the death of someone we love. These are life's darkest moments. The darkness, however, doesn't have to be without meaning, purpose, possibility, or even blessings. With resolve, courage, and guidance, we can transform the darkness into light and the curses into blessings. In this presentation, speaker Rabbi Baruch HaLevi explains how Judaism teaches us that we can find ultimate meaning through our mourning.
