A virtual event presentation by Rabbi Josh Feigelson, PhD
The event was co-sponsored by Temple Emanuel and BMH-BJ
About The Event:
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, Jewish spiritual practices like Jewish meditation, Jewish yoga, and contemplative Torah study were becoming increasingly mainstream. The pandemic only accelerated these trends, as record numbers of people sought meaningful Jewish spiritual practices to engage alongside others while remaining at home. What has driven this boom? How is it impacting the present and future of Jewish life?
