10 Plays in 90 Minutes, Shomer Shabbat
Theatre Company.
From: Yishai Freedman. allisvain@gmail.com
Hello Friends-
This this is Yishai Freedman. Most of you know me well,
some of you I
have only met once and a few I have never met (but given
you email in
confidence that we would get along).
For a few years now I have been threatening to start
some type of
theatre community for Halakhically engaged Jewish folk.
In conjunction
with some great people in Baltimore, we are producing
a one page play
festival and you are all invited to participate.
First things first, we are looking for plays that are
one page long.
The only restrictions are that it be no longer than
a page long and
that it be appropriate for "frum" audiences
and actors, what ever that
might mean. Be daring, be bold, push boundaries and
do in a page.
We intend to produce these plays so we also need actors,
directors,
designers, stage managers, musicians, magicians dancers
etc.
This is a great way connect with other Jewish artists
and have a good
time.

Celebrate the Trees' New Year at Elat Chayyim!
On the full moon between solstice and equinox, we come
together to ask
for cosmic blessing, using the seder of the Tree of
Life as our guide.
The Tu Bishevat moon signals the New Year for the Trees,
and in
Kabbalah, the New Year for the Cosmic Tree that sustains
the universe.
Kabbalists believe that we open up the channels of blessing
on this
night by eating fruit with the right intention in each
of the four
worlds. We also come together honor abundance, freedom,
and
biodiversity, and to commit ourselves to transform society
and to
recreate Judaism by connecting to the earth. Using teachings,
songs,
and poems, Rabbi David Seidenberg will lead us in bringing
in the New
Year with prayers and song for the trees and for the
planet.
Join us in the beautiful setting of Elat Chayyim Retreat
Center in
Accord NY for this journey along the path of the Tree
of Life. Come
for a delicious vegetarian dinner and seder, or for
lunch and the
whole afternoon.
$30 for dinner & seder (sliding scale to $20)
$45 for lunch and an afternoon at Elat Chayyim (including
an optional study
session)
For all our relations, for the holiness of creation,
for our future.
Rabbi David Seidenberg has been teaching Torah of the
earth for over
twenty years, and is one of the foremost scholars working
on Judaism
and ecology today. David wrote a doctorate on ecology
and Kabbalah at
the Jewish Theological Seminary, and was ordained both
at JTS and by
Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. He teaches throughout
North America on
Kabbalah, Talmud, Chasidut and Jewish thought. Along
with his
teaching, David leads davening
and nigunim, and founded what may have been the first
"Chasidishe
Egalitarian" minyan (check out David's website
on Chasidic song at
www.neohasid.org). Rabbi David's writing appears in
Trees, Earth and
Torah, Torah of the Earth, This Sacred Earth, and the
new Encyclopedia
of Religion and Nature, and on the web at www.coejl.org,
www.shalomctr.org and www.ohalah.org. He and his family
live in Los
Angeles.

CLAL - The National Jewish Center for

Conversations That Matter
How can we enhance our capacity to talk and think together
more deeply about the critical issues facing our lives,
our communities, our organizations, our nations, and our
planet?
Refreshments will be served.
Stimulates volunteer, professional and rabbinic leadership
to build responsive
Jewish communities across North America.

Promotes inclusive Jewish communities in which all voices
are heard.
Convenes interdisciplinary seminars that explore the Jewish
and American futures.
Enhances Jewish participation in civic and spiritual life

We would like to invite you to join us for a special conversation
called the Jewish
Wisdom Circle. The Wisdom Circle is simply a very powerful
dialogue for fostering constructive conversations, accessing
collective intelligence/wisdom and creating
innovative possibilities for action in our world.
This is a moment of opportunity. We are connected as never
before in webs of communication and information-sharing
through the Internet and other media that
make our collective predicament visible on a much larger
scale than we could have
imagined only a few years ago. And for the first time,
we now have the capacity for engaging in connected global
conversations and actions about what is happening and
how we choose to respond.
Our very survival as a human community and a Jewish community,
both locally and globally, may rest on our creative responses
to questions such as:
How can we access the mutual wisdom we need to create
innovative paths forward?

Gift Yourself a Hanukkah in Israel
December 25, 2005- January 5th, 2006
Dear Beit Miriam Subscribers, Because the first Beit
Miriam trip to Israel was so much fun, so amazing on so
many levels, I could not leave Israel without planning
another trip or two. Leading trips to Israel is now my
passion, and my deepest joy. I believe it is so very important
for Jews and non- Jews to have a direct physical connection
to Israel. A person can have all kinds of thoughts and
feelings about Israel but it is only when you are there
that you can really have an inkling of what is really
happening. Everyone owes it to themselves to visit Israel
at least once if not many times in their lifetime. Israel
is a holy holy land. Being there is really amazing. Israel
is the soul of the Jewish people, the promised land and
you will not know what that means unless you are there.
I promise you that on these Beit Miriam trips you will
have entrée into the soul of Israel in a very powerful
way. These upcoming trips will allow for more time to
enter into the heart of Jerusalem with expanded opportunities
for deeper learning and meditation. Please share this
email with your friends and email lists. Thank you so
much in supporting others in sharing this information
Love and blessings, Mindy Ribner

Fall 2005 in Jerusalem
ECO-ACTIVIST BEIT MIDRASH
I am very excited to let you know about a fantastic new program
set to
launch, G-d willing, Fall 2005 in Jerusalem. The "Eco-Activist
Beit
Midrash," a project of Sukkat Shaleym Inc., will be the first
learning
center focused on truly integrating modern day ecological activism
and
traditional Jewish teachings concerning the environment.
Program participants will spend 3 days a week learning texts;
and 2 days a
week hiking, volunteering, and contributing in the field to the
work of
organizations addressing a wide range of environmental issues
in Israel.
Students will visit problem sites, work alongside local activists,
and learn
to examine and integrate the spiritual and practical dimensions
of issues
such as land use, pollution, bio-diversity, consumerism, and environmental
responsibility. Coursework in pedagogy, certification coursework
in either
permaculture design or outdoor guiding skills, and opportunities
to initiate
programs in local communities will all prepare students for Judaism
as a
resource and guide in organizing ecological programming to improve
the world
around them.
This is a very special program and we are seeking students who
already have
a background in environmental and/or social activism. Classes
will be taught
in English. All traditional texts will be utilized in Hebrew and/or
Aramaic
with translations provided where necessary. Prospective students
need not
have any Hebrew language skills.
We are looking for twelve highly motivated activists interested
in exploring
what their tradition has to offer the environmental movement.
If you or
anyone you know might be interested, or if you have any questions
please
feel free to contact us at: shulim26@actcom.co.il by phone: 02-622-1456
or
check out our website www.shlomoyeshiva.org/eco
Kol Tuv!

Gift Yourself a Hanukkah in Israel
December 25, 2005- January 5th, 2006
Dear Beit Miriam Subscribers, Because the first Beit Miriam trip
to Israel was so much fun, so amazing on so many levels, I could
not leave Israel without planning another trip or two. Leading
trips to Israel is now my passion, and my deepest joy. I believe
it is so very important for Jews and non- Jews to have a direct
physical connection to Israel. A person can have all kinds of
thoughts and feelings about Israel but it is only when you are
there that you can really have an inkling of what is really happening.
Everyone owes it to themselves to visit Israel at least once if
not many times in their lifetime. Israel is a holy holy land.
Being there is really amazing. Israel is the soul of the Jewish
people, the promised land and you will not know what that means
unless you are there. I promise you that on these Beit Miriam
trips you will have entrée into the soul of Israel in a
very powerful way. These upcoming trips will allow for more time
to enter into the heart of Jerusalem with expanded opportunities
for deeper learning and meditation. Please share this email with
your friends and email lists. Thank you so much in supporting
others in sharing this information Love and blessings, Mindy Ribner
