SUMMARY:Transforming Reality – The Potential of Leadership Guided by Love
DESCRIPTION:Ebn Leader \nIn a world torn by violence and division\, what form of leadership can guide us to healing?

SUMMARY:Making the Most of the “Wet Hair Moment:” Orchestrating a Meaningful Immersion Experience For Your Conversion Candidate
DESCRIPTION:Lisa Berman \nThis workshop will explore a variety of questions about the conversion immersion experience.  How do conversion candidates prepare for the actual immersion?  Is it appropriate for family and friends to attend and what is their role?  How does the clergy’s role change at the time of the immersion?  This workshop illuminates the hopes and anxieties of all participants at a conversion immersion\, highlighting the coordination between clergy and the mikveh guide\, and offering ways to engage family and friends.  This workshop will also offer tools for sanctifying the important moment that occurs when the “new Jew” has emerged from the water\, dressed and is greeted by the clergy\, family and friends.  Participants in this session will learn about various meaningful and engaging rituals that can be utilized to welcome and support the individual as he/she becomes a part of the Jewish people.

SUMMARY:Liturgical Uses of Poetry: Sometimes It Works\, Sometimes It Doesn't
DESCRIPTION:Shelly Marder and Janet Marder with Peter Berg\, Eddie Goldberg\, Leon Morris\, and Elaine Zecher \nMany of us use poetry in our services. Poetry has the power to take us to new heights. Whether it can help us ascend to heaven is not a guarantee though – not every poem is a prayer. How do we think about what works well in a prayer context? As we have explored different poetry in the process of creating the new machzor\, let us share with you our thinking about what has made it on to the page and what hasn’t. We’ll study and analyze a few examples together.
