I have been in touch with Sharon Alexander Dreyfus,
the creator of the Jospel Choir, the last few days.

She uploaded a clip from the Limmud Conference
in London that was made a week before Debbie Friedman's
death. Debbie is in the workshop enjoying herself.


HERE IS THAT CLIP

THE YOUTUBE NOTES READ

Sharon Alexander giving a jospel workshop at Limmud conference in the UK. This is a great example of how jospel choir appeals intergenerationally. Renowned Jewish composer and performer Debbie Friedman can clearly be seen enjoying herself; this was one week before her untimely passing. Video filmed by Jacki Winter.


SOW IN TEARS. REAP IN JOY!

Debbie Friedman would come to the B'nai Horin
Community for our High Holidays for a number of years.
I was moved by this song that she composed.

It was a treat to hear Sharon Alexander Dreyfus's
version of the song that came out of interactions
with Debbie.

I would like to hear the full story of how the
version by Sharon came to be written.

I heard the song at the ALEPH Kallah 2011 and
used in this a Video I made.

I have been growing Job's Tears, a natural seed
for many years in my garden. It is a Seed the
comes with a hole already in it and is widely
known in many cultures around the world.

This is the note I received
from Sharon Alexander Dreyfus:

Leslie, I am so touched that you remembered me and that I inspired you and that you would go so far as to create this sweet video tribute. I wrote a note on the youtube site but don't know if it registered. I hope our paths will cross again soon. I'll be in the States until Aug
17. In LA from Aug 1.

Sharon, it was a great joy reconnecting with you.
You inspired in part this video,
and there are images and footage
from ShirEcstasy in it.

Feedback welcome.

The Kallah has inspired the writing out of a healing journey. I am willing to play a role
in the restoration of Sacred Foods at the Kallah.

Will you be in the country for a while?

Leslie, thank you so much for making this precious little video and for your dedication and your life's work to bring awareness of healthy foods to our community. So glad you came again to Kallah and that we reconnected. May you be blessed.

YOUTUBE NOTES

Spending time writing Plant Your Dream Blogs looking at my return visit to the ALEPH Kallah 2011. ALEPH is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet; Kallah means gathering. The ALEPH Kallah in the international Gathering of the Alliance for Jewish Renewal Communities held every two years. The last time I was at an ALEPH Kallah was in 1997. Tremendous healing happening inside within a few days of this marvelous test tube for growth and community building within a Jewish setting. I highly recommend the ALEPH Kallah and the richness of the Jewish Renewal Communities in the US and around the world as a place to regain our roots in Judiasm and its healthy future. My continued dream is that Sacred Foods, Organic Food Growing, and ALEPH become one. --Your Enchanted Gardener, Leslie Goldman. To share in my
personal journey bringing Sacred Foods to the Kallah and Jewish people,

This is a photo with Debra Kolodny, the new Rabbi at the Jewish
Renewal community in Portland She is moving on from being
the executive director of ALEPH. I met her through the work
she was doing years ago on the Sacred Foods Project through ALEPH.
This photo was taken on July 3 at the Closing Ceremony.


THE FARM?
ARRIVING IN THE PROMISED LAND




I went with AriellaShira Lewis And Gloria Krasno
twp ALEPH Kallah veterans.

I heard upon arrival at the University of Redlands,
through talking to the staff in the kitchen how they supported
Organic food, a cornerstone of Sacred Foods.
They bought local organic foods
from farmers. They had a farm right off campus
where the students grew organic food that the kitchen would
buy. It took determination to find the Farm. For future reference,
This treasure called the University of Redlands Sustainability Farm (URSF)
is located behind the
Brockton Avenue Apartments
at the back far end of a fenced gate
within view of the Soccer Field.

The Brochton Avenue Apartments are located at the corner
of Grove Street and Blockton Avenue north of the
soccer field (307) on this map.

Sunday morning, July 3, 2011.
It was difficult to find, but I persevered.
I went looking three times.
When I finally found it later in the day,
People on campus said the Gate would be locked,
but I found it open although no one was there
but we who entered.




SACRED FOOD PROJECT

My spirit is asking that I rejuvenate the Sacred Food Project
This was on my list of intentions when I attended the final
couple days of the Kallah.

I knew that to make progress I would have to step through
some Original Pain Work reflected in a handful of relationships
I left uncooked at the Kallah back in 1997.
At the Kallah I saw a new generation of youth
that need to be supported now.
I made some new allies.

I am willing to do the Soul Growth
that I might continue to serve my purpose.

Dear Leslie:

Just saw the video and your blog re Kallah.
I deeply admire your approach to healing.
The honest way you spoke your truth and points of wounding
with Jewish renewal in the past.
When you told me about your "planting dreams" work
with the school students, I recognized our friendship
would blossom with the years.
That is the kind of supportive education
that is so needed. Tears flow as I reflect we would not have met
if not for our courage to come and confront, discuss,
connect and reconnect. Your gifts are
so timely for Jewish renewal and all peoples.
I look forward to future connections."

LESLIE ON SACRED FOODS

God made a rainbow covenant
in the heavens with each of us.
How is it that there are so
many rainbow colors
on earth reflected
in all our flowers,
fruits, herbs, and vegetables?
Our health and happiness
comes out of partaking
in the full rainbow
of flowers and foods.
This fulfills our part
in the covenant.

"Dear Leslie,
You have always been one of those folks
out there on the fragile growing edge of things,
sniffing way ahead of most of us.
And you have had the courage to be quirky and insistent,
and to proceed even when you weren't understood.
I choose to believe that what you have already planted in this world
---in the earth, or in people's hearts--will quietly take root,
and perhaps go unnoticed for long enough to really dig in
without provoking opposition, and therefore acquire depth
and strength to burgeon forth. Thank you for your generosity,
for all you do, and for persevering even when it's been lonely.

You have been seen and appreciated;
please forgive me for not letting you know sooner.

Warmly,
Eve

ABOUT JOSHUA TREE FLOWER ESSENCE





This is a remedy I have been using to work with bioenergetic patterns
carried from generation to generation in the bloodstream.
It was recommended to me by Richard Katz of the Flower Essence Society
last March.

I highly recommend this to all who wish to work with their
own bioenergetic patterns embedded in our Jewish experience.


ARE YOU DRAWN TO THE
ESSENCE OF JOSHUA TREE ESSENCE TOO?


QUALITIES OF THE JOSHUA TREE FLOWER ESSENCE

Yucca breviflora
Joshua Tree

Positive qualities:

Individuation of soul forces through conscious transformation
of family patterns and related cultural conditioning;
enhanced freedom and compassionate insight
for family and culture of origin

Patterns of imbalance:

Generational karma which shackles the soul's potential; inability to break free from family or cultural patterns of dysfunction, such as alcoholism, addiction, depression, violence or hereditary illnesses; loss of individual identity and freedom due to lack of insight regarding familial and cultural influences
