Bnai Or Montreal Community Shul is thrilled to announce the first of our three Scholars-in-Residence Fall Programs! DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO FORGIVE? An interactive workshop with Rabbi Goldie Milgram Date/Time: Sunday, September 21, 2014, beginning at 7 pm Location: the YM-YWHA, 5400 Westbury Avenue, in Kellert Hall Cost: Your donation helps to support our unique and meaningful Fall Scholars-in-Residence Program! (No one is ever turned away for inability to pay; everyone is welcome.) ABOUT THE WORKSHOP This time of year, Jewish culture encourages us to focus upon the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual wounds that may have accrued in our relationships. Judaism emphasizes the potential for healing when the fullness of a spiritual depth process called TESHUVAH is undertaken. In this highly interactive workshop, we will explore the wisdom of ancient and contemporary Jewish spiritual masters on this important topic that overlaps with the question of when, whether and how to engage in forgiveness. Reb Goldie will draw upon the methods derived from the human potential movement and the emerging field of Jewish spiritual education. Individuals from all ages, backgrounds and traditions are welcome. No prior knowledge of Judaism or Hebrew is required. Source materials will be provided in the original and in translation. Enjoy music from Bnai Ors musician-in-residence Fran Avni. Following the workshop, please join us for a New Years nosh, including wine, grape juice, apples, honey, and honeycake!
