The Jewish Path of Gratitude & Blessing Sunday, August 20 at 1pm Presented by Rabbi Nina Perlmutter
Our tradition has long encouraged expressions of gratitude. Even in hard, bad times we’re to stop, notice some good, and thank the Source of All. Talmud promotes doing this 100 times a day! We’ll learn & discuss how this plays out in daily Jewish practices both private and communal– from the time of waking up to bedtime. Thankfulness and blessings are integral to Jewish “mindfulness” practice.
