Birkayim ve'brachot (knees and blessings): Yoga Poses and Movements in Jewish Prayer

Tamar Rotstein 

Blue 32 - Wellbeing hub

It's little known that movement and the body were extensively used during Jewish prayer in temple times and that the poses used bear great similarity to the poses of ancient and modern yoga. We will study the original sources, including Torah, Mishnah and the Gemarah; and we will experiment in our own bodies and experience the poses themselves.

Mellow Morning Mindfulness (1 of 4)

Lisa Barrett 

Red 8

Start the day with mindfulness, meditation and chanting of key psukim/verses from the Shacharit/Morning liturgy. New and experienced meditators are warmly welcome.

Prayers on the Run (1 of 2)

Billy Jonas 

Hotel Lobby

Exercise and praying can go together! Bring your jogging shoes and clothes. We’ll stretch, and pick a pace that works for everyone, with frequent stops, to get in a good run integrated with song, prayer, and kavanot.
