HaMakom Continuing Education Presents

Phil Lucuyer, presenter

Tuesday, February 10 at 7 PM MST

IN PERSON at Unitarian Congregation



This talk, excerpted from a lecture given at St. John's College last fall, is an exercise in pattern recognition. Rather than being an argument, it is a structured suggestion. A text from Genesis (chapter 11: 22-32), one from the Talmud (Chagigah 14b), and paintings by Cezanne and Rembrandt will be discussed in terms of a pattern they share. Also, brief remarks about the four-letter Name of God will be offered.

Mr.LeCuyer, after completing his undergraduate degree, studied for three more years at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. He has been a member of the St. John's College faculty since 1972. In 1990 he became a convert and has been part of the Jewish community in Santa Fe since that time.

Jewish Mindfulness Meditation and Hebrew Chanting



Led by

Gabrielle Maisels

Hazzan Cindy Freedman

Thursdays at Noon

12:00-1:15 PM

Location: Library at UU

Many Jews are unaware that Judaism, similar to other religious and spiritual traditions, has a long history of meditative and spiritual practices.  Jewish Mindfulness Meditation shares the basic mindfulness/heartfulness skills used in most meditation practice, such as, skills that calm and stabilize the mind, develop compassion for self and others, patience, and non-judgment. These skills help to increase our capacities to meet life with greater acceptance, strength, faith, wisdom, joy and love. It can be a practice for increasing both inner peace and inner power.

Hebrew and English chanting and the singing of niggunim (wordless melodies) are also powerful spiritual practices that offer paths to deepen the experience of connecting to ones soul, spirit, and the Divine Presence.

We meet from 12:00 noon -1:15 in person in the library at UU.

All are welcome. No meditation or chanting experience is required and participants do not have to be Jewish. There is no fee but donation to HaMakom of $18 or more per month is suggested. Come with your curiosity, questions and yearnings.

Currently Reading

Hostage, by Eli Sharabi.

In a raw and unflinching memoir, Eli Sharabi, a survivor of 491 days in Hamas captivity, recounts the harrowing ordeal of his abduction from Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7th, 2023, the loss of his wife and daughters, and his unyielding resolve to survive.

“I refuse to let myself drown in pain. I am surviving. I am a hostage. In the heart of Gaza. A stranger in a strange land. In the home of a Hamas-supporting family. And I'm getting out of here. I have to. I’m getting out of here. I’m coming home.”—Eli Sharabi
