Drawing from Hasidic teachings—including selections from Ariel’s forthcoming book on the Baal Shem Tov, the founder of the 18th century Jewish mystical revivalist movement—we will encounter timeless wisdom that speaks directly to the soul’s longing for connection, healing, and wholeness.\nTogether, we’ll explore:\n\nHow to cultivate a living, heartfelt prayer practice\nThe power of song and silence to awaken spiritual awareness\nEmbodied practices to ground our spiritual preparation in the body\nTeachings from the Baal Shem Tov that illuminate the inner dimensions of the High Holy Days\n\nWhether you’re new to Jewish spiritual practice or seeking to deepen your journey, this series offers a sacred container to walk into the Days of Awe with greater intention, openness, and presence.		\n					\n									Registration\n					 ( https://events.humanitix.com/elul-walking-the-sacred-path-approaches-to-prayer-song-and-embodied-practice-for-spiritual-renewal-and-the-high-holy-days )\n		Rabbi Ariel Evan Mayse is an Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Stanford University, the rabbi-in-residence at Atiq: Jewish Maker Institute, and senior scholar-in-residence at the Institute of Jewish Spirituality and Society.
