The Letters of Creation - The Last 5 Letters

  • Ner Shalom Zoom Room (map)

Facilitated by Gesher Calmenson

“The Letters of Creation” Returns for 5 More Mondays
Starting May 3rd and running through June 7th

An ancient Jewish tradition tells us that the letters of the Hebrew alephbet are the building blocks by which G-d created and continues to create the world.  In this series of meetings we will engage the letters one at a time and, as we choose to do, respond to them with our own creativity.

Each session features a short talk about the mystical properties of a particular Hebrew letter, followed by an open space for participants (who wish) to share their prayers, poems, songs, crafts, drawings, writings, reflections—whatever they have been moved to bring into being in response to the form, sound, and spiritual content of letters visited in previous sessions.     

Please register at least two hours before the class to receive the Zoom address.
