We will gather each week to find some moments of quiet. We’ll start with a brief teaching and/or song, and then sit together in silence. We’ll end with brief optional hevruta (Jewish study) sharing. This is for folks with experience in meditation, those with curiosity but no experience, and those who wonder what happens when Jews aren’t talking the whole time. The group will be led by Deborah Eisenbach-Budner and community members. Please call 503-248-4662 ext 5 with any questions. Come when you can.
Come add your voice to the chorus of voices at Shaarie Torah as we welcome Shabbat together. Spirited singing, prayers in Hebrew and English, raucous noise and peaceful silence – everything you need to open the gates of Shabbat
