ELI Talks's video: Go Go to Yourself: Personal Story as Spiritual Practice

Maggid Jhos Singer explores the intersection and tradition of how our personal stories influence and, indeed, create our collective Jewish story. This moving ELI talk twists and turns and ends up in a place that no one expects--a place that will make you question how you are telling your story today. Filmed at the William Breman Jewish Heritage and Holocaust Museum in Atlanta, Georgia in cooperation with the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta. Jhos Singer is the Maggid (spiritual teacher) for Chochmat HaLev in Berkeley, CA (www.chochmat.org) and the JCC of San Francisco. He follows the watery path of ancient Jewish spirituality, studies talmud at SVARA (www.svara.org) and wrestles with Torah daily. He holds a degree in music from UCLA and a Master's degree in Jewish Studies from the Graduate Theological Union. He is the a proud parent of 3 fabulous kids, the adoring spouse of his Bashert and professional partner, Julie Batz. He is an out trans man, and as such celebrates the spirituality found in the crossroads.
