Our sessions are frequently so rich in content that I consider them much like a mountain climber in search of a foothold. Where to take that first step? Today my trek began with Torah and ended with Kaballah. Rabbi Davis began our discussion with a simple question about the Torah. What is it? The rabbi pointed us towards Exodus 15:22. A story...

Friday, May 30, 2014. In an earlier lab. We were introduced to the concept of shiviti through movement. This week we experienced it as a visual poem. Shiviti.
