Lunch + Learn 1 | What is shabbat?
What: Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest, is a radical invitation into release, rest, and community. Through this series, we’ll explore its many layers together. Each session will include lunch, group discussion, paired learning, and space for personal reflection.
Who: No prior experience is needed, everyone is welcome. We'll define terms along the way and keep the conversation open and accessible.
Food: Bagels! Let us know your food needs in the form
Cost: Attendance is a suggested contribution of $8-16 per class or whatever works for you. 10% of money gathered goes to mutual aid in Palestine.
