Humour for the Soul
WHY DO JEWS LAUGH? Is it self denigration, reducing our foes to paroxysms of joy, helping us to fit in? Laughter brings us peace of mind and in peace, our souls delight. Humour is healing. Just imagine tikkun olam through laughter! An interactive session will have you on your tuches. (Bring your best stories and jokes!)

Singalong with Sarah
So often in prayer, music evokes the feelings that words alone cannot express. This session will be an exploration into prayer music that speaks to the heart. We will particularly draw on tunes from Nava Tahila, a Jerusalem-based group that writes beautiful new melodies (you may have heard their music from Max and Shannyn Eisohn). Bring your voices and your enthusiasm! This session is all about participation and joy. You do not need to know any of the tunes in advance (or be able to sing).
