Shared Spiritual Leadership
Join the second cohort of Shared Spiritual Leadership (SSL), a collaboration between Yavneh, West Raleigh Presbyterian Church, and HeartSpace Spiritual Resources. SSL responds to the challenge of transforming the historic tensions characterizing Christian-Jewish relations into our own day, as both traditions struggle with the aftermath of the Shoah (Holocaust).
Through study, dialogue, and monthly group spiritual direction sessions, participants are guided to
- reimagine their personal relationship with Judaism and Christianity;
- explore God’s universal covenant with humankind throughout history;
- find a path to a mature understanding of each tradition’s authentic spiritual message; and
- undertake a shared redemptive effort to repair our world.

Other Adult Learning Opportunities
We’re looking forward to a wide range of exciting adult learning programs this fall and winter at Yavneh. Included among them will be opportunities for interfaith learning with our friends from the St. Mark’s community and from the As-Salaam Mosque; a Torah trope class for those of you who want to learn to chant Torah and a series of casual sing-along sessions, both with Cantor Kumin; further sessions of Reading with the Rabbi (a theology book club); Jewish Meditation minyan; a Moms and Tots group; kavannah circles and body prayer gatherings, to explore the power of rhythm and movement as spiritual practices; a study series based on our new Shabbat prayer book, Kol Koreh (A Voice Calls); Family Shabbat "learnshops"; an evening of chant with Rabbi Shefa Gold; and more!
