The Mysterious Healing Power of the Mourners’ Kaddish
May 1, 8, 15 7pm Registration Required

Nothing brings us together in community like the tug to say Mourners' Kaddish. We scramble to get a minyan for those who need to say it; never are we so reverent. Yet, how well do we understand not just the meaning of the words of kaddish but also what it is meant to be doing, what is its action? In this mini-course, we will explore the text of kaddish, its historical development, and what it means to the heart. Expect surprises!
