Judaism and Tai Chi: Finding Balance in an Unbalanced World

Dr. Joel Friedman, a research scientist at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine who has also been studying the theological and mystical underpinnings of Judaism, will explore how Judaism and Tai Chi can help us pursue a balanced life by responding in an effective manner to the endless stream of verbal, physical and hypothetical stresses that confront us on a daily basis. Lessons from both the Torah and Jewish mystical tradition, and from taiji and Daoist meditative practices provide a compelling road map for achieving this balance. The workshop will consist of learning a simple movement that will illustrate the key concepts and provide a meditative/exercise that promotes health in a holistic manner.
