EJW Network Shvat Community Gathering
Embodying the Tree of Life / Eytz Chayim / עץ חיים
with Reb Simona Aronow
Tuesday, January 9, 2024
4pm PST | 7pm EST
As we enter the month of Shvat and celebrate the sap beginning to rise inside the trees , we will embody and learn from the tree, the Eytz Chayim. Individually and in community, we open to receiving guidance through her roots, trunk branches and leaves.
