SUMMARY:Sim Shalom (Grant Us Peace) 400 Years of Jewish Music - Vermont Choral Union
DESCRIPTION:The Vermont Choral Union presents a timely and contemplative program of Jewish music from across the centuries. \nThe Vermont Choral Union (VCU)\, under the direction of Eric Milnes\, presents a collection of choral works from the Jewish tradition\, featuring composers such as Salamone Rossi\, Louis Lewandowski\, Emanuel Kirshner\, and Max Janowski. Often overlooked by contemporary audiences\, these works illuminate our historical understanding and provide a new context for our present. \nThe program culminates with Leonard Bernstein’s iconic Chichester Psalms. VCU is excited to share this much-beloved choral masterwork with Burlington audiences. Assistant Director Cole Marino directs Bernstein’s rarely-heard chamber orchestration\, featuring some of Vermont’s great instrumental performers. Complementing the first portion of the program\, Bernstein’s composition highlights the influence of the Jewish tradition on both his compositional style and the broader choral repertoire. \nThese performances promise to entertain\, enlighten\, and engage audiences\, and the Vermont Choral Union looks forward to seeing you there! \nFor more information\, please visit: www.VtChoralUnion.org \nFor Tickets\, please visit:\nhttps://sevendaystickets.com/organizations/vermont-choral-union

SUMMARY:Jewish Mindfulness/Meditation Sit in the Yurt
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. This practice helps us see hidden mental habits that get in the way of being present with ourselves and others in our lives. With practice\, it is possible to find a refuge of peacefulness\, love\, and connection that flows from inner wisdom and radiant light. \nIf you are longing to experience the capacity to live with fuller awareness\, greater peace\, and to deepen your connection to self\, others\, and the Mystery\, please join us for our monthly Jewish meditation sits at Ohavi Zedek in our large sanctuary\, led by the Mindfulness Meditation team of Lindsay Forman\, Miv London\, and Judy Danzig. \nRegister for Jewish Mindfulness/Meditation Sits \nWhat to expect:\nHebrew chant\nSetting Kavanah (intention)\nGuided meditation sit\nStudy in Chevrutah (partners) – Reflection questions from the Torah reading of week thru lens of Jewish Mindfulness\nHebrew Chant \nFurther reading: What is Jewish Meditation? by Rabbi Sam Feinsmith
