Fragrant Oils of the Bible and Their Blessings - FREE event
8:30 AM - 2 PM. Congregation B'nai Shalom of Olney, 18401 Burtfield Drive, Olney, MD 20832
Rabbi Zutra ben Tobiah said in the name of Rav: Whence do we learn that a blessing should be said over sweet odors? Because it says, ‘Let every soul praise the Lord’ (Psalms 150:6). What is that which gives enjoyment to the soul and not to the body?--You must say that this is a fragrant smell (Brachot 43b).
In fact, the sense of smell is extremely important in Judaism. From Exodus to Psalms to the Song of Songs, the Jewish Bible is infused with tantalizing fragrances of incense, aromatic offerings, and spices. Fragrances are so important, in fact, that there is not one but 4 different Brachot related to them. to celebrate them! And the Sefardic tradition recites all the fragrances mentioned in the Bible in the daily prayers.
Come to this engaging workshop to experience the sacred fragrances that permeate the scriptures - Frankincense, Myrrh, Cedarwood, Hyssop, and the Rose of Sharon. We will make the Bible come alive with the sensuous fragrances of the ancient world, as we recite the 4 Brachot for fragrances and learn about:
- The significance of fragrances in Biblical times and why we bless them
- Why fragrant oils were used as holy anointing oils and in other important rituals
- What science tells us about these oils' multiple healing properties - from antibiotic to antiseptic and anti-cancerous
- And more!
Every participant will receive a FREE gift of an aromatic terra-cotta pendant.

Beyond Aroma: The Remarkable Therapeutic Potential of Essential Oils - Science, Clinical Experience, and Practical Applications. Presentation at Mind-Body Week DC. - FREE to the public. 10:15 am - 11:15 am. The Mindfulness Center, 4963 Elm Street, Bethesda, MD 20814.
Aromatherapy – the science and therapeutic application of pure essential oils – has really stepped into the limelight in the last decade. In their pure state, essential oils are some of the most concentrated natural extracts known to man, exhibiting a fascinating array of significant and immediate therapeutic actions. These include antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-depressive, antibacterial, and hormone-balancing effects, as well as calming, sedating, uplifting, and positive emotion-stimulating properties.
In clinical practice, essential oils have been shown to have a profound influence on the central nervous system, helping to reduce or eliminate pain and release muscle tension. The chemical structure of a pure essential oil allows it to rapidly penetrate cell membranes, travel throughout the body, and enhance cellular function. For health professionals who have used pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils in their practice, it is very clear that the oils have an unmatched ability to enhance results for their clients.
In this workshop, Izabella Tabarovsky will summarize research and clinical evidence underlying the modern practice of aromatherapy. She will discuss how hospitals worldwide are incorporating aromatherapy into patient care, share clinical pearls from her own practice, and discuss how anyone can safely use essential oils at home for optimal health and well-being. Please come prepared to enjoy the tantalizing and healing aromas of some of the pure essential oils that we'll be discussing first-hand.
