The TJC is happy to welcome Rabbi Shefa Gold. As we transition from ordinary consciousness to Shabbat consciousness, we enter through 9 gates. We will chant, dance, journey, delve, imagine, remember and intend our way through The GateS of Song, Wonder, Freedom, Delight, Community, Unity, Intimacy, Peace and finally… The Gate of Celebration. And then we will know the Power of Shabbat. Potluck before the service. Vegetarian preferred, no pork and shellfish.
Rabbi Shefa Gold received her ordination from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College and from Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. She composes and performs spiritual music, has produced ten albums. She teaches workshops and retreats on the theory and art of Chanting, Devotional Healing, Spiritual Community Building, and Meditation. Shefa combines her grounding in Judaism with a background in Buddhist, Christian, Islamic, and Native American spiritual traditions. She is the author of "Torah Journeys: The Inner Path to the Promised Land" and "In The Fever of Love: An Illumination of the Song of Songs".
