Learn to Read Hebrew FREE Live with RM
Who wants to learn Hebrew? This is going to be so much fun! Starting from next week Sunday nights at 9m I'll be Live Streaming a Learn How to Read Hebrew Class. It's going to be so awesome! ( In case you couldn't tell - I'm EXCITED!)
Reading Hebrew is a deep expedition into a world of wisdom, its the language the Almighty chose to communicate with us in. There is SO much in there. Here's a nice part about it. Hebrew makes sense, mastery is easy - no "ballet" that should be spelled "balay" or "through" that should be spelled "throo." You're going to love stepping back into student mode. The best part is, its FUN. We're going to explore each letter from a zillion perspectives - what it represents - what it teaches us and really explore it.
The class is ongoing and will be recorded ( getting my equipment together for a recording quality good enough for YouTube) but if you join us live you'll get to ask questions, interact and be with other people who are interested as well.
This class is FREE and it fun so let your friends know! Hebrew, here we come!!

Forgiveness is choosing life

You're Invited to a Creative Retreat
In just two months, from Nov 1-3 at the Pearlstone Center in Maryland, I'll be leading a creative arts and healing retreat for just 30 women.
The Mission.
To give a huge and generous gift to women.
To give women a time to reconnect with their essential selves.
To create a safe and energizing space for growth and healing.
To nurture and encourage women's natural creativity.
To increase support and sisterhood.
What is it?
The Wholeness and Healing Retreat is a creative,
exploratory hands on, fun healing experience designed for you!
We'll embark on the Retreat as healing adventure using writing and art to chronicle this journey.
We'll also be using some secret powers!
1. The power of women coming together
2. The power of letting go and having fun!
3. The power of creative expression.
4. The power of Torah learning.
Coaching will also play a role in our work as we both learn skills and experiment with being with one another in a completely supportive, non judgmental way .
It's a time and a place where we can breathe in and say "Ah, I"m home I'm back to myself, I'm recharging."
Its seeing yourself with new eyes and old eyes and greeting this woman with a giant loving embrace.
This Retreat will be led by me, but is also a collaboration of artists, teachers and creators. Among our participants we are looking for Movement Teachers, Artists, Speakers, Jewelry Makers, Musicians, Writers and anything else you think would fit in. Don't be shy, be creative! If you have something to share, we want to hear about it.
Why?
Because we need it. Because YOU need it. There is a world churning within us waiting for expression. There is healing to be done. There is release to be had. There is opportunity for discovery and enjoyment of our strengths and greatness.
You will GROW - closer to Hashem - closer to yourself.
How? Through breathing, dancing, crafting, painting, workshops, having FUN, making new friends, learning, thinking, bonding and playing! The more women I coach the more I see how essential this is. It's like we think we're going to be okay if we leave our creativity behind and just get stuff done. But we're not. There is so much inside us waiting to be accessed. And if that's not reason enough, remember - when WE recharge, everyone in our life benefits.

To You Chev, With Love
I'm still not completely grounded. My heart is pounding and I'm a little shaky. But good shaky. The kind of trembles you get after birth when both your body and your soul have gone through an intense experience and touched the Divine.
The past hour was spent on my couch with Esther Wiener, a gifted and intuitive energy healer. I've known Esther for a while, but just recently in synagogue as I was doling out hugs and greetings, Esther put her hand on my back and rocked my world.
I tried to keep chatting, but I couldn't. I felt a buzzing, comforting energy.
It felt like she was holding my heart in her hand.
"How did you know I needed it there?."
"I just knew."
"Whatever you're doing, don't stop!"
In the gentlest voice she answered. It's not me, it's Hashem, and He's limitless, there's as much as you need."
Tears prickled in my eyes. "Thank you."
"I'll be calling you."
Sitting on the couch today I spent an hour letting go of traumas and hurts and filling the spaces with Divine Light. None of this is metaphorical. It all happened. On an energy level, I felt the draining, I felt the healing.
And Chev, my dear sister - in - law, you were there too. When Esther asked me to tell her about my pregnancy with Minky, a picture came to mind. I saw you standing off the to the side with your children.
I didn't know if that was significant, but she said, "Hold on to that."
""Now I want you to envision that Chev is here. She's in the room and she's in a protective bubble of light. You can't hurt her. She's okay.
What do you want to say to her?"
A lump filled my throat.
"I don't know."
Quiet.
"Can you hear what she's saying to you?"
""I can."
Chev, you said "Rif, I love you. I want you to have everything!"
And more.
I felt you telling me that even though you were in pain of widowhood, it wasn't a bitter pain. You didn't begrudge me anything. When you came with us to the hospital for the birth, unconsciously it was unbearable for me. I couldn't stand the fact that I was with Bezalel and would soon have a baby and you were alone.
I hurt so much for you and I didn't know what to do with it.
But today you taught me something new. I now know that even though it was painful, you loved unconditionally without jealousy. I understand now that your relationship with Hashem was so deep, it carried you through places, that I couldn't even begin to imagine.
You carry pain, but not bitterness.
I was only seeing you from my knee high level. But you were head and shoulders above me in love.
"I love you Rif," you said. And I believed you. I felt your kindness and I let the pain go.
An image appeared of you and me and Bezalel in the hospital room and a glow surrounded all of us. It moved throughout the whole room. In that glow was the knowledge that we all were exactly where we needed to be, playing out our lives.
That story and the stories that came after that, are the perfectness of Life. We are where we need to be.
I don't need to fight it. Every single thing is from a Source that is Good.
I don't need to control it. I don't need to fix it. It's not broken.
I felt like a child in Hashem's hands.
The pain that was in my heart came pouring out. It flowed and drained until it was a mere trickle. And then - it left.
So this is for you Chev. You're still teaching me about love even from thousands of miles away.
I love you too.
(Chev, now, with her dear husband Paul)
