"Turn [the Torah], turn it, and turn it again
-- everything is in
it."
The sages teach that all answers may be
sought in the Torah. Seymour
Rossel explores a unique way of
turning Torah study into a lifelong obsession -- an age-old key to reading the Bible
that modern folk are only beginning to understand.
While most paths to heightened Jewish awareness (prayer,
meditation, mitzvot, and tikkun olam) require us to reach
out and embrace them, dreaming does not wait to
be embraced. Our dreams come to us unbidden and, too often, remain
unexplored. All of us dream, but few of us have learned how to connect our dreaming and
our Jewish spirituality.
The Talmud teaches that God reaches out
to us through dreams—bringing us guidance, sustaining and nourishing our
spirits, healing and refreshing us. As Rabbi Hisda put it, "A dream not interpreted is like a letter not read"
[Ber. 55a]. Is there a lot of "D"-mail in our lives going
unanswered?

One-Day Workshop |
Weekend Retreat |
Two sessions with Rabbi Seymour Rossel on Dreams in the Bible.
The first, "A Stairway to Heaven," examines
the text of Jacob's "ladder" dream. The second,
"Wrestling with the
Angels," focuses on Jacob's wrestling episode. Along the
way, we discuss how our ancestors communicated with God, how dreams were
viewed in ancient times, how prophecy and dreams are related, and how our
dreams can bring us new spirituality.
