SUMMARY:Kabbalat Shabbat
DESCRIPTION:Friday, August 16th, 6:00pm \nJoin Chochmat HaLev for a Kabbalat Shabbat (Welcoming Shabbat) service, a mystical tradition full of embodied prayer, soulful singing, ecstatic dancing, guided meditation, sharing of ancestral wisdom, and connection in intergenerational community. This service will be led by Zvika Krieger ( https://chochmat.org/team/zvika-krieger/ ), Lior Tsarfaty ( https://chochmat.org/team/lior-tsarfaty-4/ ) and special guests.\nService will start promptly at 6pm — please arrive a few minutes early to check in and be seated.\nJoin us for a potluck dinner/oneg after services, followed by a special HeartSpace ( https://chochmat.org/heartspace/ ) circle at 8pm: Solidarity in Israel/Palestine: An evening of stories, songs, and processing with Noa Yammer. ( https://www.noayammer.com/ ) It has been a bewildering, enraging, and unbearable experience to witness the events unfolding in Palestine and Israel over the last ten months. Many of us have felt frozen, overwhelmed, and heartbroken as we contemplate how to show up to this reality. We’re inviting you, from wherever you find yourself on the ideological spectrum, to show up with an open heart – to listen and be heard. To hold the devastation along with the possibility for change, both collectively and within our own beings. See below for more details.\nIf you’re planning to attend in-person, please register in advance.\nIf you’re planning to attend via Zoom ( https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87810404956?pwd=d29nazBQNUd4aCtYOVoreGx5Ris3dz09 ), the link is here: https://zoom.us/j/87810404956 ( https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87810404956?pwd=d29nazBQNUd4aCtYOVoreGx5Ris3dz09#success )\n			\n									Click here to register!\n					\n			\n									HOLY WORK – Click here to volunteer!\n					\n\nDuring service\nChildcare is available. Please register so we know you’re coming!\n\nAfter service\nEnjoy a delicious potluck oneg!  Please bring a vegetarian dish to share and come schmooze with our beloved community!  \n8:00pm –  HeartSpace ( https://chochmat.org/heartspace/ ) circle Solidarity in Israel/Palestine: An evening of stories, songs, and processing with Noa Yammer ( https://www.noayammer.com/ )\nOur intention for the evening is to create a space where we can be together in our pain, grief, fear, contradictions, anger, confusion, questions, helplessness, and hope.\nSchedule:8:15-9:30 Noa’s stories + songs9:30-10:30: Processing and reflecting circle\nFor the first part of the evening, we’ll listen to Noa’s stories and songs about her journey of radical transformation from her Religious Zionism upbringing and move to Israel as a teenager to the justice activism she does currently, as well as her last 10 months of living in Israel/Palestine while being part of the anti-war movement. We’ll dive into what it’s like to hop between worlds while holding compassion for different perspectives and experiences. We’ll get to hear of Noa’s powerful moments of awakening – when cracks first began forming in her worldview, her journey from silence, to voice, to uplifting others’ voices – and be invited to sit in the contradictions of this time. And, since this is Chochmat, we’ll sing together, and be invited into a prayer to take down the walls.\nThe second part of the evening will be an optional processing and reflecting circle led by Noa. We’ll engage in self reflection, leaning into our confusion and discomfort with compassion, and sit with the questions of what each of our roles are in this moment, how the current realities intersect with our personal and political journeys, and how our identities and histories may impact how we’re able or wanting to respond. We’ll make room to explore the questions, confusions, contradictions that so many of us are holding.\n																										\nNoa Yammer ( https://www.noayammer.com/ ) is a facilitator, musician, and solidarity activist dedicated to fostering peace and justice in Israel/Palestine. Originally from the United States, she has called Israel/Palestine home for the past two decades.Over the course of the last decade, Noa has embarked on a transformative journey, unraveling the Religious Zionist ideology ingrained in her upbringing. She now channels her energies into justice and bridge-building, anti-occupation activism, striving to build a more equitable society through facilitation, training, coaching, storytelling, and community organizing.\n \n\n		DONATION INFO\nOur Shabbat services are supported by donation.
