Shabbat shalom! Hard to believe we are already in to April. This Tuesday, April 9th, Naropa University (Neshama Hevrah: Contemplative Judaism Club and The Keating-Schachter Center at Naropa University) are hosting author Rodger Kamenetz in a celebration of 30 years of “The Jew in the Lotus“.
Our thoughts and prayers are once again with our brothers and sisters under attack in Israel, Ukraine, and the women of this country, and the families of the World Central Kitchen workers (and all aid workers) killed in Gaza.
Stay cool, then warm, stay safe and stay healthy. Am Yisrael Chai!
