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:Divorce and Get: Current Legal and Religious Possibilities to Reduce Pain and Provide Support
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Goldman\, Amy Scheinerman \nThis informative workshop will combine many elements designed to be useful in your rabbinate\, including both legal and religious information regarding divorce and get options. On the legal side: Collaborative Law (a constructive alternative to the Acrimonious Litigation model); mediation (facilitated dialogue instead of a court battle); and legal concerns rabbis should be aware of. On the religious side: liberal and traditional get possibilities and alternatives in the U.S.\, Canada\, and Israel; innovative rites and ceremonies for those undergoing divorce; resources of all sorts. In addition\, several case studies that combine legal and religious concerns will be presented. \n  \nPlease download the following handout in advance of this session: \nDivorce [PDF]

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.
