There are probably still some bugs in it, since it's brand new. I'd greatly value guidance from list members on how to evolve it further. Also, as a companion to the site, I've been developing and testing a series of b-mitzvah family workshops. Have just completed a series in Philadelphia and Boston and Princeton is next. Info about this is on the site under "program." If you have experiences or resources to share re bar/bat mitzvah, I'd love to post them to the site. It's a labor of love.

Many of us were inspired by his suggestions; with the help of Dr. Eric Friedland, we put together a special liturgy for the occasion. Members of our Havurah, as well as those of other faiths in our community, gathered together last Sunday for the service. Afterwards, we broke the fast together. It was a very moving and useful effort, and it helped many of us reflect and hone our individual pursuits of shalom. Thank you for inspiring us--it was a good day. Sincerely, Cheryl Cheryl B. Levine, Psy.D., Member Yellow Springs Havurah Yellow Springs, Ohio (937) 767-9293 And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time. --T.S.

Alison In Brookline, MA Temple Beth Zion's Winter Wednesday Evening Beit Midrash Session introduces a new course V'Achalta, V'Savata, U-verachta: =20 You Shall Eat, You Shall Be Satisfied, and You Shall Bless (Deuteronomy 8= :10): Jewish Sources on Food, the Body, and Wholeness with Alison Adler Dates: January 8, 15, 22, 29, February 5, 12, 26. =20 Time: 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM =20 Place: TBZ - Brookline, MA The verse in the title is the basis for saying blessings after a meal. W= hat =20 do you think is the meaning of "sava" - to be satisfied, nourished? Why= =20 does the Torah say =E2=80=9CYou shall eat, and you shall be satisfied, an= d you shall =20 bless=E2=80=9D and not simply, "you shall eat, and you shall bless?=E2=80= =9D The verse comes towards the end of the Torah, as a reminder to the Israel= ites =20 to remember the Source of their blessings when they enter the Promised La= nd. =20 We live in a land of abundance, and for many of us what we eat is our cho= ice. =20 But with such blessings may also come some challenges =E2=80=93 about hea= lth, =20 ethics, and just finding time in a =E2=80=9Cfast food=E2=80=9D culture. = How do we make =20 conscious choices in which we, our families, community and beyond can be =20 nourished fully, in body and soul? =20 In this course we will explore Jewish texts on the body, food, and blessi= ngs =20 which promote awareness and an embodied spirituality. Topics include eat= ing =20 the fruit in the Garden of Eden (the first =E2=80=9Csin=E2=80=9D in the T= orah is through =20 eating!) and that mysterious food =E2=80=93 manna - in the desert, saying= blessings =20 as a form of meditation, some teachings on keeping kosher (kashrut) and =20 =E2=80=9Ceco-kashrut,=E2=80=9D and relevant teachings of Hassidic masters= such as Rebbe =20 Nahman of Bratslav. This will be a text-based class with an emphasis on =20 experiential learning (eating!), ritual, hevrutah (partner) study, =20 discussion, and engaging weekly assignments. Alison Adler has led programs on body image, food, and Judaism for colleg= e =20 students, teens, and adults, including week-long courses at the National =20 Havurah Summer Institute, of which she is a Board Member. She was a =20 co-creator and the coordinator of Food, Body Image, and Judaism: A Confer= ence =20 on Ethnicity and Eating; Sources for Disorder, Resources for Change that = took =20 place in Philadelphia, PA.
