In a world of ever-increasing complexity and polarity, have you ever wondered: what is one thing that could change and take us into a place of harmony? Rabbi Pesach Stadlin shares how we must celebrate that we as a people are needy and that as part of our interdependence, we need to take, whether it’s time, attention, resources, or anything else. What matters, then, is bringing a spirit of consciousness, consent, and grace when we take, as opposed to mistaking selfishly, forcefully, and without grace.
We explore: what is the art of taking? What are personal practices around improving the way in which we take? How does conscious taking contribute to sustainable bliss for ourselves and humanity at large? What are the unique challenges about this practice, and how do we overcome them?
Pesach remarks that contrary to what popular sentiment might suggest, we’re closer to unlocking a harmonious way of being than we might think. Join us in learning about the art of taking, and how you can apply it in your own lives
About Rabbi Pesach Stadlin:
Pesach is a founding member and Rabbi of Eden Village Summer camps. He is a big fan of creator and creation and his favorite spiritual postures are closeness and balance. He has lived up in the Redwood trees, on sailboats, and led 17 international trips with the American Jewish World Service. He has lived on a quiet homestead in a forest deep in the hills of Jerusalem, and now lives on a sailboat in Greece. In the winter months he can often be found by his wood stove fire pondering a thought and jotting it down.
He is the author of Sustainable Bliss, Kuntres Baal Tashchit, and just finished the manuscript for his upcoming book, Light in Vessels, a practical and spiritual guide book to the Jewish holidays and beyond. He received smichah/ordination from Yeshivat Simchat Shlomo in Jerusalem and (unofficially) from his campers.
