Soulful Shabbat Shabbaton – November 18
The Feminine Face of God Teachers-in residence
Rabbi Jill Hammer and Shoshana Jedwab
Deep in kabbalah and hidden corners of the Bible, legacies of the Divine Mother abound. She is known as Cosmic Womb, Holy of Holies, Cloud of Glory, Lady Wisdom, Sabbath Queen and, simply, Earth. Through prayer, chanting, silence and stories we will learn about and experience the feminine face of Judaism.
Saturday Morning, November 18 Bohnen Vestry
9:30 AM Drumming & Chanting 10:00 AM Soulful Service
1:00 PM Talk by Rabbi Hammer She is a Tree of Life: The Divine Feminine in Jewish Tradition
For more than a decade, Rabbi Jill Hammer and the musician and educator, Shoshana Jedwab have been training women in sacred leadership in an earth-based, embodied mode that emphasizes transformative ritual. With these experienced teachers, we will explore ancient archetypes that are applicable to spiritual seekers today.
UMAN:PILGRIMAGE & PRAYER
TEMPLE EMANU-EL VESTRY99 TAFT AVENUEPROVIDENCE, RI 02906
WITH SHAI AFSAISUNDAY NOVEMBER 19 — 4:00-5:30 PM
ADULT INSTITUTE LECTURE SERIES
The largest Jewish pilgrimage outside of Israel is to the heart of the Ukraine. In recent years, some 30,000 Jews from around the world have been drawn to celebrate Rosh Hashanah in the small city of Uman, burial place of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, the influential nineteenth-century Chassidic Master. Join local author Shai Afsai, who has twice participated in the annual pilgrimage and also written about it for publications such as the Reform Jewish Quar-terly, for an exploration of Breslov Chassidic teachings and the palpable power of pilgrimage and prayer.
Shai Afsai is a writer living in Providence. His articles and short stories have appeared in The Providence Journal, The Jerusalem Post, Rhode Island Jewish Historical Association Notes, Rhode Island History, Heredom: Transactions of the Scottish Rite Research Society, CCAR Journal: The Reform Jewish Quarterly, Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies, and Anthropology Today. His “Jews and Freemasons in Providence: Temple Beth-El and Redwood Lodge” won the Rhode Island Jewish Historical Association’s 2013 Horvitz Award.
This event is free and open to the public. We ask that you consider making a donation of $5 per person
RSVPs greatly appreciated. Please visit our website: teprov.org/form/uman or call the Temple Office at 331-1616

In Search of the B’nai mitzvah Class of 1994 – 1995By Dr. Jeffrey Kress The year was 1995. Bill Clinton was President. Cutting edge technology consisted of the Sony Discman, Windows 95, the Power Mac, and AOL accounts. Full House went off the air (until its recent sequel!).
Why this nostalgic journey back 22 years? In 1995, 1,400 Jewish youth in Conservative synagogues participated in a research project conducted under the auspices of the Jewish Theological Seminary by Drs. Ariela Keysar and Barry Kosmin. The researchers contacted these teens again four years later, when most were graduating from high school, and then again 4 years after that.
We want to do something unprecedented in Jewish communal research – we want to follow-up with these respondents, now in their mid–30’s, to find out what has been going on in their lives since college. This cohort has already taught us so much and we hope that it will continue to do so.
You can help us. Here’s how: » If you had a bar or bat mitzvah in a Conservative synagogue in 1994-1995 you should have gotten an email about the survey. If you have not, please get in touch with Dr. Keysar ([email protected]) to make sure your information is up to date. We want to hear your opinions…no matter what your life journey might be. No judgement. Completely confidential. » If you know someone who might fit this description, please forward this article to them. » If you are a Jewish communal leader, please help spread the work to this cohort and to their parents.
This unique learning opportunity will succeed if our participants continue to share a few minutes of their time… and if we can locate them with their current contact information.
A lot has happened in the past 22 years … we need your help to try to understand it!
For more information, contact Dr. Jeff Kress: [email protected]
