Informal and lively study discussion led by Rabbi Robert Eisen.
This eye-opening lecture will delve into the vital importance of living in the present moment fully, unreservedly. We will further explore different tools from the teachings of Judaism, with which we can unshackle ourselves from the troubles of the past, and the worries of the future, to appreciate and unleash the blessings of the now.
The goal of our Meetup group is to create a very engaged, vibrant community, while enriching our individual spiritual lives. We warmly welcome you, whether you are a member of a congregation or are unaffiliated. This is a great place to meet new people, and find connections!
The cost for this event is $10.00 cash, payable at the door.
