Multiple Presenters: Just D'Jew It! New Vistas in Jewish Life and Practice

Many new paths and approaches to engaging in vibrant Jewish life and practice have emerged in the Bay Area. This program will highlight four of them with each presenter giving a brief talk, followed by Q&A and breakout rooms where people can discuss their own "alternative Jewish practice."

• Urban Adamah, an educational farm and community center in Berkeley, integrates the practices of Jewish tradition, mindfulness, sustainable agriculture, and social action to build loving, just, and sustainable communities. 
• Wilderness Torah awakens and celebrates earth-based Jewish traditions through village-building programs that promote healing, belonging, and resilience.
• Jewish Studio Project (JSP) envisions a future in which every person engages their creativity to cultivate resilience, well-being, and spiritual vitality. Through its core methodology, JSP participants engage with Jewish text and art-making to cultivate their creative capacity.
• Chai Cycles is a Jewish community whose members find meaning and experience Jewish community through bicycling and text study, engaging in stimulating conversation about Jewish ideas.
