2020. Let’s face it: the global pandemic, combined with accelerated violence and negativity throughout America, sparked a vortex of high anxiety for the world and its people. In Let Us All Breathe Together, Rabbi Weinberg offers a thoughtful collection of spiritual messages, insightful poems, and perceptive essays that explore ways to unite faith with reality-all of which combine to provide a valuable guide through the uncertainties of turbulent times.
From meditative relaxation to the soothing sounds of the shofar, to seeing the face of God in ourselves, Rabbi Weinberg shares tools to help overcome trauma and strengthen faith not only in God but also in humanity. She employs her extensive knowledge of Judaism, other spiritual traditions, and her own practice and weaves them into this engaging tutorial to help us relax, restore, and mostly,
just . . . Breathe.
“Through poetry, prose, prayer and meditation exercises, Sheila Weinberg’s capacious mind reveals and embraces life’s mysteries and contradictions. Joy and suffering, emptiness and fullness, wisdom and ignorance, confidence and vulnerability, all intertwined, each demanding attention. A deep commitment to service in the world and care for the self likewise arise, informing and shaping her unique and passionate life of faith, so beautifully articulated in this volume.” – Paula Green, Founder of the Karuna Center for Peacebuilding and Professor Emerita, School for International Training
Refreshments (Kosher) will be provided from 6 – 6:30 pm. This is a FREE Program, but donations are welcome!
