Rabbi Jeff Roth is the founder and Director of The Awakened Heart Project for Contemplative Judaism. He is the co-leader of the Jewish Mindfulness Teacher Training program. He has also facilitated over 190 Jewish meditation retreats.
“Many of our human existential struggles stem from the sense of disconnection, alienation and loneliness that comes from a fragmented view of reality. The typical concept of ‘self’ creates a sense of isolation from other beings, leaving us feeling lost and hopeless. But the practice of mindfulness, combined with the teachings of Torah, offer a direct path to liberate ourselves from alienation, awaken to the truth of the present moment and create a new relationship with God.” – Rabbi Jeff Roth

On Saturday, December 10 at 7 PM, the Havurah Synagogue and Temple Emek Shalom present a screening of “A Third Way,” a gripping story about the power of building intercultural and interfaith trust on a grassroots level between Israeli settlers and Palestinians. In a time of global conflict, extremism and “fundamentalisms” of many kinds, “A Third Way” tells a story of a microcosm, a small community of people normally thought of as enemies, who become friends. These improbable friendships may be the seeds, growing right now, of a better future for all in the Holy Land. Director Harvey Stein, will introduce the film and lead a discussion following the screening. Sliding scale tickets at the door, $5 – $10. The Havurah is located at 185 N. Mountain Ave. in Ashland. Call 541-488-7716 for more info.

At this service, we will include new melodies, explore the service with some reflections on the prayers themselves, and chant according to the Triennial cycle of Torah readings.
