Compelled to Joy

Wednesday, February 18, 7pm

Come celebrate Rosh Chodesh Adar, the happiest month on the Hebrew calendar, by learning why Judaism has long valued the middah (spiritual quality) of joy as a gateway to resilience and hope.

Spiritual Direction: A Chance to Explore the Holiness of Your Life

Monday afternoons with Rabbi Goldstein, by appointment only

Spiritual Direction is a practice involving meeting with a spiritual director on a monthly basis to cultivate the ability to discern the holiness, spiritual or sacred in all aspects of life. Rabbi Goldstein completed the Spiritual Direction practicum to become a spiritual director at the Aquinas Institute of Theology in 2018.

There is no cost for members of Congregation Shaare Emeth, though it is customary to make a donation to the Jewish Mindfulness Center of St. Louis after each session. The cost for non-members is $50 per session.
