SUMMARY:Bringing Shavat Vayinafash into the Everyday
DESCRIPTION:Larry Dressler \nOne 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.

SUMMARY:Teaching Hebrew: Raising the Bar
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Vardit Ringvald \nThe impact of the Hebrew language on our children’s sense of self is increasingly in the spotlight. What a different picture when they approach their Bar/Bat Mitzvah training with the organic connection to ancient texts and Israeli culture that Hebrew gives them! To maximize the level of our students’ Hebrew in Synagogue schools\, we need to build a field of professionals who understand language acquisition and have the pedagogical skills to incorporate this understanding into their classroom activities. Hebrew at the Center (HATC). has worked with day schools\, public schools\, summer camps\, afterschool programs\, and regional groups of schools throughout North America\, serving a wide range of Jewish expression and practice. Founding Senior Academic Advisor Dr. Vardit Ringvald will describe how HATC prepares educators to make informed decisions that foster their learners’ abilities to internalize the Hebrew language\, transforming it into a powerful tool for shaping and strenthening Jewish identity in religious school settings.

SUMMARY:Music and the Interiority Complex
DESCRIPTION:Josh Jacobson \nPre-registration is required. Session is capped at 40 participants. \nWe will struggle with some of these questions: Can music create holiness? How? What musical experiences connect us to our community? What musical experiences connect us to our inner selves\, to God? Is there a role for “classical music” in the synagogue? Do we need a professional musician in the synagogue? Does simple music generate simple faith? Why do I have my most spiritual experiences in Symphony Hall and not in the synagogue? \n  \nPlease read the following articles in advance of this session: \nThe Music You Won’t Hear on Rosh Hashana \nI Dread Going to Shul \nA Composer’s View of Temple Music \nNew Wings for Our Prayers \n

SUMMARY:The Child in the Halakhah (Freehof Institute for Progressive Halakhah)
DESCRIPTION:Walter Jacobs\, Ruth Langer\, Brian Stoller \nThe program will discuss “The Child in the Halakhah\,” an area rather neglected by the Traditions. Although the transition to being an adult was discussed in detail in rabbinic literature\, this dealt almost exclusively with physical changes. The intellectual development of children was noted\, but only in random comments and without any thorough discussion. Nor was any attention given to adolescence\, a term which began to be used at the beginning of the twentieth century. Our presenters will mix perspectives on current issues with their historical background. \n\nBrian Stoller: “The Changing Age of Responsibility”\nDr. Walter Jacob: “The Juvenile Delinquent”\nDr. Ruth Langer: “The Parental Blessing”

SUMMARY:Sea Sick on the Love Boat: Liquid Modernity\, Fluid Identity and Nautical Metaphors
DESCRIPTION:Michael Marmur \nIn this session we will consider themes of liquidity\, fluidity and water in Jewish and Western traditions. In particular\, a tradition from Sifrei Deuteronomy concerning peoplehood will be studied. Zygmunt Bauman’s concept of Liquid Modernity will also be considered. Our question is: how should we respond to a fluid reality? Go with the flow? Tell the tide to turn? Learn how to surf? Buy a submarine?

SUMMARY:The Best Practice of Mentors and Mentees
DESCRIPTION:Sam Joseph \n\nThere are mainly four types of mentors: \n\nCareer Guide — promotes development through career guidance\, counseling and visibility;\nInformation Source — provides information about formal and informal expectations;\nFriend — interacts with the mentee socially and provides information about people; and\nIntellectual Guide — promotes an equal relationship\, collaborates on research projects and provides constructive feedback and criticism.\n\nThe mentor-mentee relationship in the rabbinate could intersect with all four types above. \nThis session will bring the most recent research into the practice of mentoring and help colleagues learn how to have an engaging mentoring relationship and a generative one. The rabbinate can be growthful and richer because of such.
