Izun Bracelet Workshop

Finding Your Balance

Our individual identity is ultimately shaped by the way we choose to balance our lives. As we achieve a healthy balance, we find we thrive with more productivity, fulfillment, wellness, and gratitude. Elisa provides guidance by sharing visual imagery about the importance of how we create balance in our lives. Program participants explore concepts of balance and why this is an important ingredient in living our very best lives. Each participant will make an Izun Bracelet (balance bracelet) to serve as a reminder of this inspirational message.

*The Izun bracelet provides an important daily reminder of 5 branches of our lives (love, family, faith/work, identity, spirit) represented by pewter beads spelling the word Izun.

This workshop is intended for:

• Women’s Groups

• Teacher and Madrichim training

• Youth group events

• Sisterhood and Brotherhood programs

• Rosh Chodesh groups (celebrating the new month)

Tzitzit Bracelet Workshop

A Friendship Bracelet with G-d

In this workshop, we will explore the traditions and mitzvot (commandment) of wearing tzitzit. While sharing and weaving in beautiful meaning, we will make our own Tzitzit Bracelets by choosing colorful threads, wrapping. and knotting. We will leave feeling inspired and connected through our friendship bracelet with G-d.

For thousands of years, Jews have tied tzitzit (knotted ritual tassels) on to their four-cornered garments. Tzitzit are most often worn on the corners of a tallit (prayer shawl) or tallit katan (an undergarment worn daily under a shirt). Originally only worn by men, they serve as a reminder of all of the commandments. There are a total of 613 mitzvot that have been commanded to the Jewish people. We hope that each time you wear your tzitzit bracelet, you think about and remember that you are wearing a piece of our Jewish history with it’s beautiful customs and rituals. May it serve as a meaningful friendship bracelet between you and G-d.

This workshop is intended for:

• Women’s Groups

• Teacher and Madrichim training

• Youth group events

• Sisterhood and Brotherhood programs
