The idea was to expose Russian Speaking Jews to Jewish Meditative practices minus the religion as well as create community after the event through sushi and refreshments. This way the group exists to learn meditative / contemplative practices while supporting each other in their personal and social development.
Two events took place: June 1, 2015 and June 15, 2015 at JCC Manhattan Makom.
