Lev Tahor berah li Elohiym,
We seek Connectivity, Wholeness and the giving of unconditional love.
We chose this theme to acknowledge that the intention of our gathering is indeed a sacred one: l'shem shamayim, for the sake of heaven. We acknowledge that we have the power to draw into our Self and our lives that which we study and seek and that it is VERY IMPORTANT to have an appreciation of meaning in our lives and the lives of others.. ....
We offer three sessions of classes. After reviewing all the choices, you select one early course (morning), one middle class and one later course (afternoon). Each selected class meets for the three class days of the Cactus Kallah. (Please pick two alternates (second choices in case the first is full) for each.)
If you are registering ONLINE, please email your 2nd and 3rd choices. (Instructions are on the APPLICATION page.
