Shmita: Putting Ourselves in the Practice
Keshira haLev Fife
Wednesdays - 12 Classes
3:00 - 4:30 PM Eastern - Starts February 23, 2022
Course Description:
Shmita is the year of release, restore and return, which arrives every seventh year. A third of the way into our current shmita year, it’s a great time to reflect on whether we’ve engaged the shmita in meaningful ways. Even if you haven’t done a thing, it’s not too late!
Through 12 weeks of conversation, reflection and embodied practice, we will consider the principles of shmita, and explore how we can bridge its ancient wisdom with our modern moment. With invitations to question, experiment, play, and ultimately to let go, together we will put ourselves into the practice, all for the sake of a more liberated/liberatory future.

Meet Keshira
Keshira haLev Fife (she/they) sprinkles sparkles, disrupts expectations, and offers blessings wherever she goes. She serves as Oreget Kehilah (Executive Director) of the Kohenet Hebrew Priestess Institute, Founding Kohenet of Kesher Pittsburgh, Program Director of the ALEPH Kesher Fellowship, and also enjoys working with Keshet and Beloved Builders. Additionally, she delights in serving as a shlichat tzibbur, life spiral ceremony/ritual creatrix, teacher, facilitator, liturgist and songstress. Her work in these realms is informed by her lived experience as a queer, bi-racial, Jewish Woman, her belief that Book, Body and Earth are equal sources of wisdom, and the quandries she encounters as a scholar of the Orphan Wisdom School. Keshira received Kohenet smicha in 2017 and earned her BS 2000 and MS 2001 at Carnegie Mellon University. After many years of traveling and living in Australia, she and her beloved once again make their home on Osage and Haudenosaunee land, also called Pittsburgh, PA.
