Sermon of the week

Did you miss the sermon from Friday night's Kabbalat Shabbat service? Don't fret because you can watch the sermon of the week right here! 

 

At Friday night's Kabbalat Shabbat service, Rabbi Leizman discusses the "quandary of every human being, in all places," sharing the opportunity we have to bravely and honestly show up as we are, because self-awareness is the starting point of teshuvah, connection, and everything we hope to become.

    Embracing our Flaws Boldly with Kintsugi
    Monday, Sep 15th 5:00p to 6:30p
    Kintsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together and filling in the cracks with gold—a metaphor for embracing our flaws and imperfections. Led by Steve Jensen, Academy Kintsugi certified instructor, we will each learn and try our hand at the art of Kintsugi. Each participant will create their own tile piece. Rabbi Greene will lead us in study and conversation about the themes of this period on the Jewish calendar and how they dovetail with this creative work. As we approach the new year, we engage in self-reflection to see where and how we want to repair and grow. We look to make change, we explore our imperfections. Space is limited. Pre-registration required; sign up by August 29. Contact Rabbi Greene for scholarship assistance for congregants. $36 NSCI congregants, $72 for non-congregants.
