One of the paradoxes of the rabbinate is that we who are most devoted to repairing the world often find ourselves in a state of disrepair. Too often we and our institutions get caught up in a larger culture that values speed, multi-tasking and results. We learn to “cope” with or suppress our experience of feeling overworked, overcommitted, and overwhelmed, often at a personal cost. In this session we will use dialogue, poetry, and embodied practices to explore the small yet profound ways in which we can regularly “re-soul” — restore a sense of wonder, freshness, and wholeness to our sacred work.
