As an alumna of their clergy cohort program and a participant in their Jewish Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training program, Rabbi Solomon considers contemplative practices to be at the center of her rabbinate.
In parshat Vaeira, Moses and Aaron repeatedly come before Pharaoh to demand “Let My people go”. Pharaoh repeatedly refuses And God then sends a series of plagues upon the Egyptians.The waters of the Nile turn to blood; frogs overrun the land; lice infest people and beasts. wild animals invade the cities; a pestilence kills domestic animals; boils afflict the Egyptians. Fire and ice descend from the skies as a devastating hail.
