A Readers Theater Shabbat!

On June 5, we will have our normal Shabbat service. It will be a hybrid service and will start at 7 p.m. to accommodate what I hope will be a touch of drama in our lives. By using imagination, the arts have a way of helping us go deeper into what it means to be fully human. At 7:30 p.m. after the Shabbat service, my colleagues Abbey and Dan Toot and I will present The Analyst and the Rabbi.

When I started training in dreamwork at the nearby Haden Institute, I became fascinated with the work of Carl Jung and his emphasis on dreams. When I heard about this play written by two Jungian analysts, I began thinking this would be the perfect opportunity to explore this intersection between his life and that of Rabbi Leo Baeck by presenting the play (in readers theater style) and having a discussion afterwards. There may be several guests in attendance both in person and on Zoom that evening. I hope, in addition to the joyful Shabbat at 7 p.m. that begins that evening, that you will find it meaningful to enter into the play at 7:30 p.m.

Weekly Shabbat Service

It is good to enter into the spirit of the Sabbath, a time in which our personal concerns drop away for a few hours and we get a sense of the larger meaning of life and fellowship.

Our services last about an hour. They include interactive songs and readings, usually supplemented by a lively discussion on important subjects. Often we invite significant and challenging speakers from within and outside our community.

Friday Services

Friday nights at 7:30pm

Come join us at 7:30 p.m. in the Social Hall at Sacred Heart Catholic Church (in Brevard, NC off the Asheville Highway at 150 Brian Berg Ln.) or via Zoom.
