Events and Classes
Hikebodedut Club
The Hikebodedut Club meets on Sunday mornings at a local trailhead. We learn a little bit of Jewish wisdom, exploring the traditional meditative practice of “hitbodedut” to frame our hike, and then explore the trail together.
Popularized by the 18th-19th century mystic Reb Nachman of Breslov, hitbodedut traditionally refers to secluding oneself in nature to speak out loud to the Divine. Our club requires neither experience nor beliefs— just a willingness to connect to yourself, nature, and each other!
All details (location, hike difficulty, etc.) will be sent out via our Whatsapp group. To register for that, please email bnaiorcomm@gmail.com.
Our first hike this Fall will be on Sunday, Sept 29.
Chavayah Kids
This is the “Hebrew school” I wish I went to when I was growing up!
🌻 🧵 🪕All sessions are two hours and include earth-based experiential learning, plus crafts and music.
🌿 Not only how to shake lulav and etrog - how they grow and what the harvest time meant to our ancestors.
🌝 All things Levanah - the moon in our tradition, how and why she’s important and rituals of blessing to honor her.
🕎 A meaningful Chanukkah celebration - crafting from recycled materials, dreidel dancing, being a light in the world.
🌀 Composting as spiritual practice - what blessings we can say and how we can connect to our own transformation.
And so much more!!
🌎 For more details, send Reb Ariel a message.
