SUMMARY:Finding Our Way to the God of Torah
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Timoner \nLightning on the mountain. Plagues as punishment. War and bloodshed. The God of Torah can be difficult to relate to\, even alienating\, for our congregants\, and for us. How might we connect our own spiritual practices and beliefs with this God? Join with Rabbi Rachel Timoner of Leo Baeck Temple in Los Angeles and author of Breath of Life: God as Spirit in Judaism\, as she takes you on a journey through Torah to find a new look at the God within the scroll. Tracing ruach through its 378 appearances in Tanach\, Timoner finds that God shows up as ruach while creating the world\, endowing humans with understanding\, and urging us to redeem our world. Be part of this conversation and discover a God you just might relate to.

SUMMARY:Opening the Gates to Bar and Bat Mitzvah
DESCRIPTION:Arlene Remz \nFor the past eight years\, Gateways: Access to Jewish Education\, Boston’s central address for Jewish special education\, has prepared dozens of youngsters with disabilities for Bar and Bat Mitzvah. Young adults have been able to enjoy the Jewish rite-of-passage that only a few short years ago would likely have been denied them. This presentation will take you through several of our “gates” to becoming Bar or Bat Mitzvah–from students with autism who learn to read Hebrew and chant from the Torah using a specialized multi-sensory approach\, to students who are non-verbal who recite the blessings by activating a computer\, to students who are deaf and sign both the prayers and D’var Torah. Learn ways to work with special needs children\, so that each child will celebrate his or her Bar or Bat Mitzvah “each according to their way.”

SUMMARY:Enhancing Prayer with Technology
DESCRIPTION:Peter Levi\, Dan Medwin\, Ron Segal\n\nFrom stone tablets\, to parchment\, to bound and printed books\, Jews have been regular adopters of new technology for the purposes of study and worship.  Come learn the newest tools to more deeply engage our members in prayer and liturgy\, and to enhance our capabilities as facilitators of worship. \n\nVisual T’filah allows the possibility of embracing visual imagery and “midrash” in worship settings\, and lifts the faces and voices of the community.  Learn from colleagues about how it is being used in the field and how to bring it to your community.  We will also engage in a broader conversation about the power of visual imagery to convey ideas and emotions\, and how its use can positively effect our rabbinates.\niT’filah: The Mishkan T’filah app\, represents a significant step forward in the use of technology and its benefits for prayer.  Learn about its features and how to facilitate prayer and study through its offerings.  Also\, get a “sneak peek” at some of the ideas in consideration for future versions of the app\, and contribute your own ideas.
