SUMMARY:Preparing for the High Holy Days: The Amen Effect
DESCRIPTION:With Rabbi Ilyse S. Kramer\, via Zoom\n\nJoin us for two-sessio
 ns to prepare and return\, again... we will explore&nbsp\;some of the text
 s and ideas Rabbi Sharon Brous teaches in her book as spiritual tools and 
 guidance. In addition\, offer a few hands-on practices we can try out ours
 elves and with&nbsp\;our family members during this Elul month of spiritua
 l preparation.\n\nIt's that time of the year\, again... the heat of the su
 mmer passes into the relief of cooler autumn air to breathe in—breathe i
 n big and deep!\n\nHow do we begin (again) to prepare for the High Holy se
 ason this year? Where are we on the "lap" or "labyrinth" of our life-journ
 ey?\n\nLet's start by exploring what Rabbi Sharon Brous calls\, "The Amen 
 Effect." Think of it as throwing some pebbles into the water and watching 
 how the ripples move out in circular motion\, ever expanding and widening.
  Yep—as singer\, songwriter\, Annie Zylstra\, teaches us: "I believed in
  solid ground... until I saw the earth in motion\; in the winds of steady 
 change\; and in the in the&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; ever-rolling ocean.
 "&nbsp\;\n\nSo\, what's the&nbsp\;amen effect?&nbsp\; Rabbi Brous' teachin
 gs remind us that the remedy for a fractured world is human connection.&nb
 sp\;The Amen Effect\, then\, is a powerful call for each of us to show up 
 for other people—see them fully—and hold them close. Faith. Courage. H
 ope. The spiritual "trifecta" that intersects our lives as well as others.
 &nbsp\;\n\nThis powerful book\,The Amen Effect: Ancient Wisdom to Mend Our
  Broken Hearts and World\,&nbsp\;by Sharon Brous is available for purchase
  on Amazon.\n\nPLEASE REGISTER IN ADVANCE TO RECEIVE ZOOM LINK\n\n&nbsp\;\
