Fellowship for Jewish Contemplative Arts
Testimonials about the facilitator
Daroma’s Temple of One Winter Practice Season (5786) was a ten-week online fellowship exploring Jewish contemplative practice through meditation, prayer, and text study, gathering participants across North America, Hawaiʻi, and Brazil into a shared field of disciplined spiritual formation.
Daroma’s Spring 5784 season with Rabbi Rami Avraham Efal unfolded between Pesach and Shavuot as a practice-centered container of stillness, ancestry, and contemplative Jewish practice. Through silence, niggun, and teachings drawn from Hasidic and mystical sources, participants explored trauma, memory, creativity, and covenant in the shadow of 10/7, holding complexity without rushing to resolve it.
The graphic of the Menorah is inspired by a rare etching of the Menorah discovered in 2011 “in the drainage channel beneath the 2,000 Pilgrimage Road in the City of David, adjacent to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Israel. The discovery represented what may be among the earliest renderings of the Menorah ever found. “
