Shabbat for Survivors

Come together for a prayerful, healing Shabbat service led by Rabbi Nora and our music team. As we read the biblical account of Dinah, we’ll create space to honor survivors and victims of power-based violence. Raise your voice in support of those who have been impacted by harassment, assault, or abuse and honor allies and advocates working to create safer communities for us all.

Holiday Donation Drive

Before Chanukah, assemble holiday care kit gift bags for residents at transitional housing shelters provided by New Endeavors by Women (NEW). NEW aims to end the cycle of homelessness by offering education, employment, and housing, and by fostering the development of life skills.

CANCELED: Rumor Has It

Following our live recording of the popular podcast “Normal Gossip,” explore your own relationship to gossip through a Jewish lens. Using ancient sources, Rabbi Nora leads a discussion on the difference between sharing information and gossiping, why gossip is so hard to resist, and how we should talk to, and about, others.
