Like Moses’s discourses in Deuteronomy, remembering the stops on the 40 year journey to the Promised Land, I too want to recall our almost 25 year journey of Lev Eisha.
We started with only a few women around a dining room table who shared a dream; that dream evolved into a dynamic and inspiring women’s group. In addition to our monthly services which open our Lev Eisha “hearts,” we have held fabulous retreats at Camp Ramah and the Brandeis Bardin Institute where we sang, prayed, danced, laughed and cried together. Over the last years we brought in Women’s Jewish Theater, which enhanced our services and touched our souls. During various years many women attended my Friday morning Torah classes and other learning opportunities.
Remember – before COVID, our Breakfast and Bracha sessions met an hour before services; these always prompted spirited conversations. The long lunch after services provided a time to shmooze and catch up as we shared our lives with one another. Over the years, we held fundraisers, workshops and other delightful events, creating wonderful memories.
These “stops” along our journey only happened because of our talented and devoted leadership. We have been blessed with great presidents, creative board members, and other devoted volunteers who are the foundation of Lev and the reason for our success.
Now is the time for each of us to step up and commit to another inspiring year.
We need each other.
We lift each other up, celebrate milestones and are present with healing during dark times.
Lev Eisha creates a unique space of inspiring music with Cindy Paley and our singers and musicians.
We cannot imagine a better place to pray!
I love seeing everyone at services and am excited to continue with another meaningful year.
Remember, your membership and generous donations sustain Lev Eisha.
Let’s make this happen!
