  • More Talmud with Rabbi Susan Shamash

    April 28, 2024  11:30 am - 1:00 pm
    Social Hall

    Some say that the only way to change the world is through the serious study of Talmud as a spiritual practice.  This year, 5784, we will continue our study of the last chapter, chapter 9 of Masechet/Tactate Brachot/Blessings, the first tractate of the Babylonian Talmud.  It’s a bit of a wild ride!
     
    So far we have learned about blessings that constitute an independent category of blessings for thanksgiving:  anything that deviates from the norm obligates us to recite a blessing such as mountains and seas, natural phenomena, unique creatures, or events of extreme benevolence.  We offer thanks for God’s goodness and miracles and accept the tragedies and disasters.
     
    In the New Year we will pick up at the vast topic of dreams and their interpretation.  Nothing in our existence is meaningless.  We must seek meaning and significance in even ethereal matters like dreams which can then serve as road maps to guide the dreamers along the paths of their lives

    Come, join Rabbi Susan Shamash and other serious, eager learners as we grapple with the text, join the Jewish communal conversation, and bring our voices to the renewal of Judaism!

  • Song / Study / Silence: a 7-week Omer themed engagement at the intersection of Torah study and spiritual practice

    May 22, 2024  7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

    Register here

    Rabbi Hannah’s final Zusia offering as Senior Rabbi of Or Shalom will be a generative,
    experiential class, an open-ended creative process engaging our felt, intuitive responses to the
    weekly themes of the Omer, selections from the weekly Torah cycle, visual images, melody –
    and their inter-textuality. After orientation to the practice, opportunity will be offered to class
    members to select texts and images for our consideration.
    *
    Questions about this practice, new to Or Shalom, can be addressed to rabbi Hannah directly at
    rabbihannah@orshalom.ca
