The Kabbalistic Tree of Life as a Guide to Healing Through the Omer

  • Beit Midrash Zoom Classroom link sent to registrants United States (map)

Led by Shoshana Fershtman

a two-part series
on Zoom only
Fridays, May 3 and 17

Since the beginning of time, the sacred Tree has been a source of guidance and wisdom, an axis mundi uniting heaven and earth. Drawing on the mystical practice of counting the Omer on the days between Passover and Shavuot, we will explore how to compost the patterns that no longer serve us, deepen our roots to draw from waters that sustain our true essence, and widen our branches to new growth and possibilities.
