Download REGISTRATION FORM 2008
In May 2007 the first international Ohel Hachidusch invited Rabbi
Marcia Prager, Hazzan Jack Kessler, Rabbi Elisa Klapheck and ALEPH
rabbinical student Lynn Feinberg from Oslo to Berlin. Over 80
participants from all over Europe came to learn more about Jewish
Renewal. Since then, a Jewish Renewal group under the leadership of the
ALEPH ordained Cantor Jalda Rebling is growing in Berlin. Guest
teachers from the US and Switzerland, guest participants from all over
Europe came to join the activities of this inspiring and fast growing
group. OH Berlin is ALEPH affiliated.
Last year Hazzan Jalda Rebling led the High Holidays in the Jewish Center of Lund, creating new relationships.
This summer the Jewish Center of Lund will welcome participants from
all over Europe to the Second Ohel Hachidusch Congress. Rabbi Elisa
Klapheck from Amsterdam, Rabbi Shawn Zevit from Philadelphia, Hazzan
Jalda Rebling from Berlin, ALEPH rabbinical senior student Lynn
Feinberg from Oslo and other spritual leaders will teach and lead the
Shabbat Services. We will discuss how we can develop the joy to be a
jew in Europe and how we can create a meanigful spiritual jewish life
for jews who are still not able to find their place in the traditional
jewish communities.
A public Havdala concert will make this congress a joyful event for the city of Lund.
