Ritual & Prayer
Most of us have a general sense that meditation brings about states of calm or clarity. But can we experience those states if our lives are busy? What is the "point" of meditation? This is a no-nonsense introduction to the practical techniques and purposes of meditation, suitable both for yogis and for people who say they can't meditate/hate meditating/aren't that kind of person at all.

Identity & Responsibility
The history of the Jews of Syria (the oldest in the Diaspora... or not?) includes such communities as: Damascus, Allepo, and Qashmily, in Syria; Beirut, Sidon, and Tripoli, in Lebanon; Safed (the Safdiyes) and Jerusalem (the Yerushalmis); and Egypt.
Plenty of traditions, strong cohesion, secrets, and insularism: they represent one of the most pure Jewish traditions all over the world today. Let's discover some of their treasures, like the Allepo Codex, and some of their mysteries.
