SUMMARY:Simchat Torah: Remixed
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday, October 14, 5:30pm – 10pm\nAt Chochmat HaLev\nJoin us for Simchat Torah, the Jewish season finale and season premiere in one night! We finish reading the last lines of the Torah and immediately roll back to “In the beginning” — traveling the spiral of Jewish time together.\nWe’ll start the night with an early kids program with our Latin-Jewish friends from Olamim and their new illustrated Torah from Venice with Spanish and Hebrew text!\nWe’ll then move into a soulful Maariv prayer service led by Lior Tsarfaty, followed by an immersive interactive ritual led by Rabbi Zvika Krieger and Rebecca Schisler, weaving mystical wisdom about endings and beginnings, sacred ecstasy, and experiencing the divine in our bodies.\nThe night culminates with a wild mystical dance party inspired by the seven lower sephirot (Divine emanations) with special guest DJ Yosef Rosen (perhaps the only DJ that also has a PhD in Kabbalah) and dance master Bruce Bierman! \nCheck out this video of our all-night Shavuot ritual ( http://www.instagram.com/p/DLk7TT3zTUM/ ) for a taste of what to expect.\nSchedule:5:45-6:15pm: Family program with Olamim and intergenerational Torah viewing.6:15-6:30pm: Short kids hakafa (dancing) with the Torah6:30-7:00pm: Maariv led by Lior & kids pizza time in the social hall7:00-8:00pm: Torah service led by Zvika and Rebecca8-10pm: Hakafot dance party with Bruce and Yosef\nCost:  Kids come for FREEMembers – $24Non-Members – $36-72\nIn partnership with Urban Adamah ( https://urbanadamah.org/ ).\n					\n									Register Here\n					\n					\n									Sign up to Volunteer\n					\nACCESSIBILITY\nPhysical Access\nEntrance Entrance to the Sanctuary is at the corner of Prince St. and Fulton St. There are 8 steps into the main entrance of the Sanctuary.
