Preparation for High Holy Days - TSHUVA: Turning and Returning

From 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday September 13, Rabbi Rex Perlmeter and Beth Sandweis will lead a half day Mindfulness Meditation Retreat at Bnai Keshet in Montclair.

How can we cultivate the qualities of heart and mind that allow us to turn toward or return to what matters most in our lives?

Spending a half day in contemplative practice is a uniquely wonderful way to prepare for the High Holy Days – to regain balance in our lives, and to cultivate greater awareness, clarity, peacefulness and compassion for ourselves and others. The power of doing this together in community can be transformative.

The day will include sitting meditation with instruction, walking meditation, change, gentle yoga and study – as pathways to explore the season’s themes of renewal, forgiveness, transformation, and change.

This event is free and open to all. Please reserve a place by contact Rabbi Rex Perlmeter at rabbirex@jewishwellness.net.

This program is sponsored by The Jewish Wellness Center of North Jersey, the JMC (Jewish Meditation Center) of Montclair, Temple Ner Tamid and Bnai Keshet.
