The Hidden Light Within
An Intimate Conversation on Compassion & Self-Exploration
Oct 7, 2026 • 7:30pm
Join Rebetzin Mushky Mendelson and Liliya Simkhayeva for an intimate conversation exploring the transformative power of compassion through a Jewish and Kabbalistic lens. What if self-exploration isn’t about fixing what is broken, but compassionately uncovering what has been there all along?
Mushky Mendelson will guide us through Jewish and Kabbalistic perspectives on self-exploration, compassion, and our mission — including the idea that Divine light is never lost, but can become concealed beneath layers of pain, judgment, fear, shame, and protective patterns. Together, we’ll explore how compassion can help us meet these parts of ourselves without further judgment, creating space to reconnect with the deeper light and authenticity within.
An Experiential Practice
Following the conversation, Liliya Simkhayeva, an engineer and corporate leader who discovered the Compassion Key through her own journey of self-exploration, will offer a brief experiential demonstration. After experiencing the transformative impact of compassion firsthand, Liliya became certified in the Compassion Key modality and now shares this practice with others as a pathway to deeper self-understanding and compassion.
One volunteer will experience a short, self-directed Compassion Key practice, while others are invited to gently follow along in their own awareness, if they wish. What part of yourself might be waiting to be met with compassion rather than judgment? Come as you are. No prior experience necessary. Please use the form below to RSVP.
