SUMMARY:Jewish Mindfulness/Meditation Sits
DESCRIPTION:The Baal Shem Tov is quoted as saying “Truly\, you are where your mind is.” \nJewish meditation\, which dates back thousands of years\, provides a way of cultivating a peaceful\, loving\, contented\, and awakened life.

SUMMARY:YIVO Presents: The Future of Holocaust Memory: Poland and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Holocaust distortion in Poland involves reshaping or minimizing facts about the Holocaust\, often emphasizing Polish victimhood while obscuring instances of local collaboration\, participation\, or indifference. It appears in political rhetoric\, memory laws\, public commemorations\, and attacks on critical scholarship. YIVO’s Poland vs. Holocaust History series examines these dynamics and situates the Polish case within a broader European context. \nThis discussion panel will reflect on the future of Holocaust memory in Poland and in a broader international context. Bringing together Jan T. Gross\, Elżbieta Janicka\, and Jan Grabowski\, the conversation will address the evolving challenges facing Holocaust remembrance amid political polarization\, historical revisionism\, and generational change. The panelists will consider the roles of scholarship\, education\, public debate\, and cultural institutions in sustaining honest engagement with the past. The discussion will also explore how national and transnational perspectives can coexist\, and what is at stake for historical truth\, democratic values\, and moral responsibility in shaping the future of Holocaust memory. \nThis online event will take place via Zoom at 1:00pm ET. \nClick here for More Info / Registration

SUMMARY:Hineni: Jewish Mindfulness Retreat 2026

Led by Rabbi Jordan Bendat-Appell of the Institute for Jewish Spirituality\, this retreat is designed for both experienced practitioners and those new to meditation. \n\nThis year’s theme\, Shabbat Rest as a Mindfulness Practice\, explores the Jewish wisdom of Menucha (spacious rest). Through a blend of teaching\, silence\, and sitting\, walking\, and eating meditations\, we will create a sweet and joyous refuge from the turbulence of daily life.

Please enjoy breakfast before arriving on Saturday and Sunday.\nProduced by: The Mindfulness Team of Ohavi Zedek Synagogue. \nThis retreat is open to everyone—whether Shabbat is a regular practice for you or something you’ve never experienced before. \n* Hineni means “Here I am!” in Hebrew\, a spiritual call of presence. \n  \nREGISTER FOR HINENI \n\n  \n“I recently had the privilege of learning with Rabbi Jordan at a 5 day silent meditation retreat \, ‘Awakening the Divine’\, at Isabella Freedman Retreat Center in Falls Village\, Connecticut\, organized by Or Halev\, a center for Jewish mindfulness in California. \nRabbi Jordan taught me how to wake up to my life and bring more intention into my everyday experiences. His presence\, warmth and open-heartedness put me at ease.” \n– Judy Danzig\, OZ Congregant and Executive Board Member\, Mindfulness Committee Chair \n  \n\n \nRabbi Jordan Bendat-Appell is Senior Core Faculty at the Institute for Jewish Spirituality (IJS)\, where he focuses on teaching Jewish mindfulness and text and leading the development of a new center for advanced Jewish mindfulness practice and study. Jordan has been a practitioner of meditation for nearly 30 years\, and brings a wealth of experience in Jewish education and contemplative practice to his work. \nHis previous leadership roles include serving as Director of Camp Ramah in Canada from 2019-2022 and as the founding Director of Ramah Beyond\, leading wilderness and mindfulness retreats and trips. Earlier in his career for IJS\, Jordan was a teacher of Jewish Mindfulness and Director of the Jewish Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training\, and he also taught meditation to clergy through IJS’ Clergy Leadership Program.

SUMMARY:Minyan (Online Evening)
DESCRIPTION:Ohavi Zedek offers regular minyan services to meet the worship needs of our community and especially to aid those members of our community who are reciting Kaddish in memory of a recently deceased loved one or on a Yahrzeit. Services are held Sunday-Thursday evenings at 7:00 on Zoom. Ohavi Zedek’s minyan is traditional and egalitarian. Mincha and Maariv are recited at evening services when the services begin before dark\, only Ma’ariv is recited once we reach the point in the year when services start after dark. We also hold Sunday Shacharit at 8:45 AM in person and on Zoom. \nIf you are planning to attend a service to recite Kaddish please fill out this form to let us know so we can make sure there is a minyan present. \nClick here to access the Weekday Siddur Lev Shalem used during our evening Minyan services. \nZoom link is below under the heading ‘Website’. \nPlease make your full first and last name viewable on Zoom\, so we know who you are and can admit you. \nResources: \nWhen Should I Say Kaddish for Yahrzeit? \nThe Mourner’s Kaddish: A Memorial Prayer in Praise of God by My Jewish Learning \n  \n
