Do I need to believe in God to be Jewish? What happens after I die? Where is God in times of tragedy? How do I rest when I have no time? 12JQ brings Jews and non-Jews together to draw upon 3,500 years of Jewish wisdom as we deeply explore 12 of life’s most essential questions. Each class will explore a different topic to help broaden your understanding of Judaism and yourself.
For generations, the Jewish practice of mussar has guided people to a greater understanding of who they are and who they can be. Every other week, we'll come together as a whole group to learn and share ways we can cultivate inner qualities like acceptance, generosity, forgiveness, and gratitude. During the "off weeks," you will meet with assigned study partners to explore and discuss Jewish texts.
This six-week journey will explore how listening, thought, word, and deed reflect and shape the fullness of who we are. Drawing on Jewish texts, soulful chant, and accessible mindfulness practices, each class invites you to notice, awaken, and align your inner and outer lives with greater intention.
