Creating Jewish programs through Kabbalah
We have a recent phenomenon in Judaism of often running Jewish event programming that is missing a feeling of enough connection to Judaism. For example, at a Sukkot or Hanukkah gathering, out of a random sample of people coming out of such events feeling like they did not have a deep feeling of connection with the event. If we want Jews to connect with Torah and Judaism in new ways, we need to do so with more care. Torah is essential to Judaism, and finding new ways to incorporate it into our lives and events is exciting! As a model for doing this and creating spiritual spaces, I suggest using the structure of the sefirot from Kabbalah. The sefirot have been studied and used by rabbis and even academic disciplines to improve different types of relationships. I suggest reflecting on the sefirotic structure to create a spiritual intentionality before and during the event. The sefirot can already be found in our most holy activities, from our core prayer, the Amidah, to our holiday observance. Utilizing it is the process of engaging people intellectually, emotionally, and making the experience authentic for them.
