The Jewish Meditation Program offers opportunities to engage with and practice meaningful ways in our Jewish Spirituality. Our program events are open to all individuals, regardless of age, religious affiliation or meditation experience.

All are welcome to experience and find a deeper connection to their Spiritual Judaism through participation in our programs.
B'Chol L'Vavcha--With All Your Heart
The JCC Jewish Meditation and Spirituality Program and Congregation Shomrei Torah present:
A Special High Holy Days Preparation with Sylvia Boorstein and Rabbi George Gittleman
Sunday, September 21
9:30AM - 4:30PM
Through this day long retreat, we will become unburdened from grudges, grieving, anxiety and anger, allowing us to greet each other from a place full of love and forgiveness.
Through gaining insight into our own inner workings, our own hearts, we will walk into the New Year with open hearts. No meditation experience is necessary; this retreat is open to all.

In the cycle of Jewish holidays, the journey from Passover, through Counting the Omer, to Shavuot shows us how deep and lasting revelation of Divine Presence is fruit that is harvested from psychological insight and conscious actions in each of our lives.
