REVISITING JEWISH RITUAL
The Old Made New and the New Made Sacred: The Creation of New Jewish RitualDrawing on her experience designing and facilitating rituals, as well as working on the development of Jewish Milestones—the nonprofit organization she cofounded that serves an educational resource for Jews seeking support in creating meaningful Jewish lifecycle rituals—in these sessions Rachel described some of the ritual innovations she witnessed that have deeply impacted the lives of contemporary North American Jews and shared some “best practices” in ritual creation including an introduction to Dr. Vanessa Ochs’ Jewish Ritual Toolbox.
Regarding Invisible PassagesCelebration of birth, bar/bat mitzvah, and marriage are central to Jewish life, yet equally significant experiences such as childlessness, aging and divorce, most often remain unacknowledged by the Jewish community and unmarked in our ritual lives. In this series of one-day workshops we study relevant Jewish texts, traditions, and innovative rituals.
