08.10.10 Make Your Own Teshuvah Journal In this workshop, with Rabbi Rachel Timoner, we will prepare for the month of Elul by creating journals for the process of cheshbon hanefesh (accounting of our souls). We will study texts on teshuva, and begin to use our journals to help guide us as we consider how we are living, the state of our relationships, and our sense of purpose in anticipation of the High Holydays.
Achim
“How good it is for brothers to dwell together in peace.” The purpose of Achim, which means “brothers” in Hebrew, is to create a collegial community of men. We wish to foster a climate of caring and understanding, thereby deepening our relationship to each other, to the Temple, and to the community.
The group meets at the homes of our members on a rotating basis and over breakfast and coffee, we explore various subjects of interest to men. Areas we have explored this year include Torah study, responsa literature, Israeli and domestic politics, discussion of the qualities of leadership as defined in Jewish texts, and the dangers of fringe religious groups.
If you are interesting in joining Achim, please feel free to contact chairperson,
