Yom Kippur Afternoon Study

Join us after the 10am service, for an opportunity to continue to observe this important day of reflection in a meaningful and productive way with members of the Hineni committee, between the morning and the healing services:

Part 1, 12:45pm: Lou Shapiro will begin the session with a brief gentle chair yoga to enhance physical and mental preparedness. Then, Jessica Switzman will lead a loving kindness meditation, where she explains how our breath affects our wellbeing, decreases anxiety, lowers our heart rate and blood pressure, and then will guide the group through a meditation which involves mentally sending goodwill, kindness, and warmth towards others by silently repeating a series of positive mantras or phrases.

Part 2, 1:45pm: Jill Simon will facilitate a discussion on learning how to be more positive with “The 7 Habits of Optimistic People.”
