Learning the Torah of Love: Text and Mindfulness

The way we learn Torah can influence how we relate to our "internal Torah"; that is, our inner world. The qualities and assumptions that we bring to Torah study reflect how we discern meaning through paying attention to what arises in the mind and body. One element of life in which this is particularly true is in how we experience love. In this session, we will weave together short periods of meditation and text study in an exploration of how Jewish textual wisdom about love is a reflection for how we might study the inner texts of love.
