Tea and Psalms: Jewish Herbal Teas

Description

Herbal tea is extremely important to Jews, as it is to many peoples around the world. Herbal teas are enjoyed from childhood and throughout life as an accessible form of healthcare and nutrition. Many Jews have paired the practice of preparing tea with the reciting of Psalms in a beautiful custom for staying in balance spiritually and physically. In this 75-minute class, we will learn about traditional Jewish herbal teas from across the diaspora, from herbal teas drunk to support digestion to those taken as amulets for spiritual protection. We will also explore Jewish rituals, remedies, teachings and customs relating to tea. Access to a pre-recorded class will be available within a week of the live class.
