\"lectiodivina\"Interesting intersection of past and present yesterday. In my Christian days, I explored many different forms of spiritual practice, including a Benedictine form called\u00a0lectio divina.\u00a0<\/em>Turns out a Rabbi is teaching a version of lectio\u00a0to other rabbis for use, in particular, with Torah study. Bonnie, a rabbi in training who attends Beth Evergreen, modified it to use in our Mussar study.<\/p>\n

She read short passages three times, emphasizing different words each time and we all listened silently. She then gave us a brief time and introduced two questions about the passage. The idea was to react to the feelings generated, not the intellectual content. This is congruent with what I know of lectio in which language, often as little as one word, functions as a mantra rather than a message.<\/p>\n

\"images\"I found myself slipping into a comfortable place, going inside, considering my inner journey. It felt good.\u00a0I hope we use the process more.<\/p>\n

Kate has had her second Hebrew lesson. We plan to attend at least some of the high holy day services, beginning with Erev\u00a0Rosh Hashanah, the first service of the Jewish new year.<\/p>\n
