How to See God as Everything and Remain Sane

Isabella Freedman Retreat Center in Connecticut
August 10 - 16, 2009

The great consolation of the Torah in the Book of Deuteronomy is offered in the verse: "It has been made evident to you how to know that there is nothing but YHVH."

What do we need to know in order to see the world and all that it entails as nothing other than the Ultimate Reality? We will examine the concepts of self, world and God that may presently impede our recognition of this ultimately consoling view. Drawing on wisdom from Hasidic and kabbalistic sources, we will encounter a saner understanding of who we are and for what purpose we are here.

Reb Miles at Am Kolel Sanctuary

Am Kolel Sanctuary and Renewal Center in Beallsville, MD
August 21st-23rd

On the weekend of August 21st-23rd, Reb Miles will be offering teachings and practices from the Hasidic tradition concerning the month of Elul. Jewish tradition views this month as preparation for the Teshuvah work that culminates in Yom Kippur. This year, Elul begins on Erev Shabbat, August 21st. Reb Miles will be sharing teachings on the essential nature of Teshuvah (rebooting and restoring our soul’s operating system), as understood in Hasidic and kabbalist tradition. We will be studying teachings from Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, his main disciple, Rabbi Nathan of Nemirov, and from Hasidism’s founder, the Ba’al Shem Tov. Teachings will be supported by specific practices to facilitate the Teshuvah practice and prepare us for Rosh HaShanah.
