Join us as two outstanding Israeli educators bridge the depth of Jewish thinking with the wisdom of Chinese medicine. Through a cross-cultural exploration, Rabbi Michal Ken Tor and Chinese medicine practitioner, Yael Saslove will delve into the interconnected physical and spiritual health of individuals and nations. By blending perspectives from Jewish thought and Eastern philosophy, this session will explore how both Jewish and Chinese traditions view the body as a repository of memories and experiences.
