Jewish Federation Hosts Program on Judaism, Tai Chi

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Jewish Federation of the Berkshires presents Dr. Joel Friedman, who will lead a program on "Judaism and Tai Chi: Finding Balance in an Unbalanced World" on Thursday, July 30, at 10:45 a.m.
 
In this workshop, he explores how Judaism and tai chi can help cultivate a more balanced life by teaching effective responses to the constant stream of verbal, physical, and internal stresses of daily living. These skills, he emphasizes, must be learned and practiced, centering on a dynamic balance between what we take in and what we express outwardly — whether in conversation or conflict.
 
This free program will be presented as part of the Federation's Connecting With Community Series at Knesset Israel. The conversation will continue with a home-cooked lunch around the community table. All are welcome; advance lunch reservations are required by calling 413-442-2200 before 9 a.m. on Wednesday. Suggested donation of $3 for adults over age 60, $7 for all others.
 
Friedman is a research scientist and doctor of medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He brings a interdisciplinary perspective shaped by decades in science and medicine, more than 40 years of training and teaching Taoist-based internal martial and healing arts, and a deep commitment to Jewish learning.
