Spring Class 1
Join us for our Spring Class: Exploring Jewish Practice
Class 1: The Jewish Day
Why: In this moment when our context feels so disjointed and cruel, many of us are newly recognizing that we want the rhythm and connection that Jewish practice offers.
Although Jewish practice may have previously felt too complicated, confusing, or “not for us”, it is now essential, relevant, and just might speak directly to us.
Who: Our Spring Community Shabbat Class is for people who want to explore, ignite, or deepen their Jewish practice. We will take both a broad approach, learning fundamentals, as well as a personal approach, asking how we might bring these practices into our lives. All levels of previous experience are welcome!
Food: Bagel lunch will be provided, gf and vegan options
