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.
Sudan Focus Group
LBT’s Sudan Focus Group was formed in late 2003 in response to Sudan’s raging campaign of ethnic cleansing against the darker skinned African tribes inhabiting Darfur, a region of Sudan that is roughly the size of Texas.
In 2004, the United States Congress voted to call the killings in Darfur by their proper legal name: genocide. Despite these measures, the death toll in Darfur continues to leap forward. Reputable organizations and experts estimate that more than 2 million have been displaced and over 400,000 have perished in the last five years. LBT’S Sudan Focus Group has taken a multi-pronged approach to addressing this issue. We work to educate our community about the genocide in Darfur, and to move members to action through specific programs and events.
