SUMMARY:The Art of Returning: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Lives
DESCRIPTION:The Art of Returning: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Lives  \nDuring the High Holy Days\, Jewish tradition has us looking inward. The word teshuva\, which we hear throughout this season\, is often translated as “repentance\,” though its deeper meaning is return. Drawing on timeless Jewish texts and the wisdom we’ve gained through our own lives\, we’ll explore and ask what it means to return to our best selves and repair what needs healing. \nThis program is part of our Challah and Conversation series\, where Rabbi Lisa Izes\, Shames JCC senior director of Jewish engagement\, leads interactive\, guided conversations about life that weave together spirituality and a Jewish lens. Topics range from the human experience\, holidays\, Israel\, and current events—all grounded in thoughtful discussion and a focus on our shared humanity.

In many cases\, the truth is more frightening than fiction. In addition to the evening’s lecture\, Amy also travels with her mini museum of haunted artifacts and spiritualist memorabilia\, which will be displayed for you to visit and interact with before and after the show. \n*Limited tickets for a post show meet & greet and photo op!
