Counting the Days will be an evening of storytelling and meditation centered on the theme of healing, specifically as seen through the dual lenses of humility and victory. The Kabbalistic tradition assigns each week of the Omer a theme, and within that week each day has an aspect. The 28th of April is the 26th day of the Omer, which is the day of Humility (hod) in the week of Victory (netzach). The process of healing is unpredictable and often lengthy; it requires that we surrender to the unknown as we move towards health and wholeness. The SIJCC community has a number of experienced storytellers, and we’re excited to draw on that group to create a lineup for the evening, as well as 9-time Moth Story Slam winner Bill Ratner.
To encourage new voices to participate as well, we will hold a storytelling workshop at the JCC prior to the event itself and hold half of the spaces in the lineup to be filled by people chosen at the event. As the last “story” of the evening, a community member to lead a breathing/meditation exercise encouraging everyone to turn inward and consider their own stories of humility and healing, victory and strength.
