Ritualizing Our Days Workshop
– A Spiritual Strategy for 2025 and Beyond –
How do we infuse our days with ritual to sustain us and make every day holy?
What technologies do Judaism and other sacred traditions provide?
In this interactive workshop, we will explore these questions and others, and generate a variety of ideas to create a personal practice for each person attending.

When: Wednesday, April 16, 7-9pm in the Chochmat Sanctuary
Cost: Members: $18; Non-Members $36
Please Bring:
- a notebook
- small meaningful object to create an altar
- wear comfortable clothes
Please also bring your openness, imagination, questions, and practices
Leah Shelleda taught World Religions, Philosophy and Cultural Studies at the College of Marin. She is a published, prize-winning poet and a ritualist who combines ancient practices, contemporary values and deep compassion in the workshops and ceremonies she creates.
Nadine Rosenthal was Chair of the Learning Assistance Department at City College of San Francisco for 25 years before she retired, took up quilting and offered her first two major quilts to Chochmat HaLev. Those two quilts now hang on our Bima wall. She leads our Art Affinity Group at Chochmat and has committed herself to her morning spiritual practice.
