The more I read the posts and comments from teachers, brothers and sisters of the Sangha, the more happy and grateful I am to have found this Zendo and to be part of it.
"Rabbi Laura Baum will lead a supersize Passover Seder on Saturday.
As hundreds of worshipers follow along, she and a fellow rabbi will recite blessings over four cups of wine, eat matzo or unleavened bread, and dip parsley into salt water to tell the story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt and liberation from slavery.
Tradition? Well, not exactly.
Rabbi Baum's Seder will be conducted in cyberspace, as her guests—from New York to New Zealand—join in at OurJewishCommunity.org, the online congregation she co-leads. Rabbi Baum, 32, has been keeping close track of the number of people who will participate. So far, the guest list is up to about 400—although she need not worry about any last-minute crashers. "It is not as if we will run out of gefilte fish," she says.
Thank you Jundo, I'm so glad to have found Treeleaf. When you get the mentoring program up and running, I could really use a mentor and would love to have one.
I think this is the right place to say how thankful and lucky I feel of having found this place after one year of wandering, reading, learning what I could grasp and sitting mostly alone.
Thanks to everyone here for the time, the effort and the good will to make this continually grow.
