Start the work day with meaning as we come together to connect and reflect. Rabbi Shira and Aaron Shneyer lead a few of the traditional morning prayers and share kavvanot (intentions).

Start off the work day with some spiritual work as we come together to connect and reflect. Rabbi Aaron leads a few of the traditional morning prayers, shares a couple of kavvanot (intentions), and leads a short journaling exercise.

After more than a year of lockdowns and virtual social interactions, a return to our pre-pandemic “normal” lives may feel daunting, exhilarating, and anxiety-producing all at once. As we navigate this unfamiliar terrain, Rabbi Aaron offers some Jewish wisdom to provide helpful perspectives and frameworks for an intentional re-entry.

From havdallah at the end of Shabbat to the prayer we say after a meal, Judaism asks us to mark the ending with as much ceremony as we do the beginning.
