6 Emergency Food Station Yom Kippur Breakout Session The Chant of Teshuvah, led by Robyn Israel Yom Kippur morning, 11:15-12 noon in the library. This program will end in time to return to the sanctuary for Yizkor. Chanting is the musical and rhythmical repetition of a sacred phrase from a holy text, either liturgy or scripture. It is a spiritual practice that fully engages the body, heart and mind. It is also a meditative exercise that builds energy and expands consciousness. The key component is the silence following each chant, when each group member harvests his or her own intention and meaning. For Yom Kippur, I will lead the group in a chanting session whose theme will be Teshuvah. One example of a chant would be Hodi eiani Yah kitzi, umidat yamai mah hi? O God, show me my end and what is the measure of my days? (Psalm 39:5) With this chant we can pray for a vision for who we are becoming. At the end of the chant, open up to receive a vision from your future self. Let your imagination lead you to your vision and trust what comes. Receive the wisdom, guidance or blessing from your future self. There will be an emergency food station set up in the room adjacent to the cloak room, where people who feel unwell on Yom Kippur may have water, juice or a light snack to assist them.

Please call the shul office October 31, 2016 (Opening Program): Storycare: Storytelling at Baycrest ~ Dan Yashinsky Listening to, remembering, and telling stories are a vital part of Jewish culture. Our speaker s work as the first ever Storyteller-in-Residence at Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care has reaffirmed the importance of story in understanding and valuing the lives of the many elders he encounters. A Jewish proverb asks, Why did God invent human beings? It answers, Because God loves stories. This talk reflects on the ways storytelling has become integrated into the life of Baycrest, and how the many stories our speaker has heard and shared with patients, residents, family members, and staff have helped to create a frame of meaning for the journey into old age. His talk combines personal experience interspersed with humour. Dan Yashinsky is a professional storyteller and the author of Swimming with Chaucer: A Storyteller s Logbook, and Suddenly They Heard Footsteps: Storytelling for the Twenty-First Century. In l999, he received the first Jane Jacobs Prize for his storytelling work in the community. This presentation is sponsored by Louise and Albert Levy.
