Event: Limmud Philly 2012
I am so excited to announce that I’ll be speaking at Limmud Philly 2012, April 27-29. This amazing event brings together people from across the spectrum of Judaism to create a two-day “Learningfest.”
I’ll be presenting two different sessions:
Exploring the Cyber Shul
Engaging your community through Cyber services
Technology offers such promise to help us extend the reach of our synagogues, shuls, and spiritual communities beyond the four walls of a building. But, it can seem daunting and conf
using to many — and cold and inhuman to others. Done right – it’s amazing, engaging and inspiring! Spend an hour with Ketzirah, who not only leads
services with OneShul.org, but also is the Director of Digital Strategy with an advertising agency in her day job! Learn the technology that fits your needs & style!
Ritual Craft
A framework for ritual designing better rituals
Spend an hour exploring the art and craft of ritual design. Whether you are a spiritual leader, or just interested in how to create rituals, this practical workshop will provide a framework for creating and analyzing rituals. The framework is based on Ketzirah’s years of ritual development, as well as many schools of ritual studies. This framework applies to any type of ritual from personal to life-cycle to holiday services. Spend an hour and re-energize your approach to creating rituals!
Needless to say, the CyberShul workshop is based on my experience with OneShul.org and PunkTorah — but it also let’s me bring in the experience from my day job! I love when I can pull it all together.
The Ritual Craft class is a one-hour version of the 12 month class I’m doing with Becoming. Even in this super abbreviated version, I think it will be great and give people a whole new way to think about planning rituals and services.
Mini Manifesto:
Culture: I am fascinated by both culture on most levels. I mostly focus on American culture and what makes us who we are as a country, but I'm also intrigued by sub-cultures in the USA and the growing global cultural trends.
Technology: Technology is one of the strongest drivers of cultural and even spiritual changes in the last 100 years, and possibly the next 100.
