 y Nishmat Hayyim at TBZ\nSacred Poetry\, Sacred Feeling:&nbsp\;Jewish Medi
 tation and the Psalms.\nThe psalms are the centerpiece of Jewish liturgica
 l practice. Passionate\, sometimes joyful\, sometimes desolate poems\, the
 y express the lyrical side of the Torah teachings. In this daylong event w
 e'll practice sitting and walking meditation and consider the psalms as sa
 cred texts &nbsp\;expressing the range of feeling we all experience during
  the course of our spiritual life. There will be plenty of time for deep r
 eflection and conversation. We'll use Norman's translation Opening to You:
  Zen-inspired Translations of the Psalms.\nREGISTER HERE\nDownload the fly

 n Fischer is a Zen Buddhist priest\, teacher\, poet\, and a former abbot o
 f San Francisco Zen Center. He is founder and teacher of the Everyday Zen 
 Foundation (www.everydayzen.org) dedicated to sharing Zen teaching and pra
 ctice widely with the world. He is one of the most highly respected Zen te
 achers in America. Fischer and Rabbi Alan Lew (z”l) in January 2000 co-f
 ounded Makor Or\, a San Francisco based Jewish meditation center that brin
 gs Jewish meditation to a new level by providing daily meditation\, weekly
  classes\, monthly retreats and a yearly intensive along with contemplativ
 e preparation for the holidays and these continue to be co-lead by Norman.
  An author and poet\, you can view his works on both NormanFischer.org and
  EverydayZen.org. Norman’s poetry traces a consciousness well aware\, al
 beit often enough puzzled\, by the ever changing conditions of self/other/
 environment/language. His writing reminds us of the idea that language is 
 at once an avenue of imprisonment and liberation\, and we may never be alt
 ogether certain which.&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;
