Blessing of a Broken Ankle
Hmmm….”Living Creatively”.
Seems that this upcoming course (see below) which I am very excited and honored to teach is maybe something that I not only desire to share with fellow friends, but it is something that I look forward to internalizing myself.
In my current journey to health and healing after breaking my ankle in 3 places 2 weeks ago, “Living Creatively” takes on new meaning.
What has inspired me to delve deeper? Is it the fact that I am trying to figure out how to run a household from my bed? (or let go of running a household from my bed!) Is it the challenge of conveying my needs when I would simply rather do it myself? Or is it the formidable task of mothering 8 kids ka”h, from a horizontal position, while reading books, beading necklaces, doing homework all while trying to rest, heal and let go?
Is it the surrendering and letting go that inspires creativity or is it seeing and feeling the intentions and blessings of G-d within the painting of life? Are we an admirer of art or are we the artist? Are we choosing our attitudes, thoughts and perspectives and are we blending our colors to create a vibrant life? And how does Judaism fit in?
How can we as women tap into the energy that is found deep within our Judaism? How can we take our very own canvas of life, and paint it with magnificent hues of depth, meaning and connection, all while we go about our busy day to day life.
We as women, have an intrinsic connection. We have the power of Jewish Femininity that infuses our life with a symphony of color in our very own palette, our very own soul.
But how? How do we really live beautifully, with purpose, with creativity? How does Judaism inspire living with color and passing it along to others?
Please join me on a 7 month journey, to delve into our inner spiritual palate, one we may not even know exists.
Looking forward to sharing the experience with you,
sincerely,
Chana
(This class is for women only)
LIVE CREATIVELY
We are fascinated by artists. Their work embodies what we want our lives to be: beautiful, meaningful, purposeful. But art is not only for artists. It’s for anyone who craves to know how to live more creatively, more deeply. Join us on a seven-part journey as we explore Judaism’s insights into the arts and how they beautify and transform our lives, one brushstroke at a time…
TUESDAY NOVEMBER 17
7:30pm – 9:00pm
LESSON ONE
I – Painting & Drawing
The Inner Eye of the Artist
What is art? What endows a painting with that magical power to convey a dimension of beauty and meaning that the object or scene it represents does not reveal to us on its own? Is it only artists who have access to that magic, or can we all learn to discover it? How do we transform our everyday lives into a work of art?

SHANAH TOVAH!
Honey Cake. Sweet. Soul Food. A taste of Yom Tov.
A cake batter of emotion, introspection, love, appreciation, gratitude, blessings, prayer and connection.
Chabad. Wif-fi for the soul. A place to connect.
It’s often a challenge to find balance in our lives. Days full of ‘troubleshooting’ as we look for ways to re-boot, re- charge and re-start.
Chabad of Mill Valley is the place to find balance, inspiration and the tools needed to keep ‘in sync’ with our Jewish hard drive. Our internal ‘storage’ of rich heritage, vibrant history and Jewish roots.
Now a days, everything is in ‘the cloud’. Easy, fast access, from anywhere, anytime.
Important data, meaningful experiences, never to be lost. This, my friend, is what you will experience at Chabad.
Our Judaism is rooted deep within us, down here on earth, yet the opportunity to connect to the ‘cloud’, the Heavens above with G-d’s blue print for life, is eternal, relevant and accessible. Anywhere. Anytime.
So, join us. Consider Chabad of Mill Valley your Wi-fi hot spot. Life long significant connection to spirituality, Judaism and Torah values.
May you and yours be blessed with health, happiness and success both spiritually and physically.
Yours sincerely,
Rabbi Hillel and Chana Scop

HONEY CAKE WITH BANANA!
2 1/3 cups flour
1 Tsp. Baking Powder
1 Tsp. Baking Soda
2 Eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup dark brewed tea, made with 3 tea bags, cooled
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup honey
1/2 medium ripe banana thoroughly mashed
Grated rind of 1 orange
1/8 Tsp. Ground cloves
(This recipe is originally for two 9 x 5″ loaf pans) – Use parchment paper for lining when using pans.
Preheat oven to 350.
Beat eggs, in a mixer at medium speed, gradually ading sugar until pale and ribbon-like. (about 7 -10 minutes…you don’t have to be religious about this step:)
Lower the speed and add the tea, oil, honey and banana, orange rind, cloves and even a dash of cinnamon if you wish. Combine thoroughly.
Gradually add in flour, baking powder and baking soda. (use a whisk is you still have clumps of flour in your batter.) combine well.
(If you are making this cake in the loaf pans, the original recipe says to bake it at 325 for the first 15 minutes and then raise temp. to 350 for another 25 minutes. I found that baking at 350 the entire time works too.This recipe makes 2 loaf size pans. If you are making cupcakes, bake at 325 for 14 – 17 minutes. This recipe gives you about 27 cupcakes in these holders.)
