Grief Garden Circle: Monday Mournings (FromSoil2Soul)

Let’s enter Shabbat together with a sweet, spirited Kabbalat Shabbat service. Daven with us in person or on YouTube, our website, and Zoom. RSVP for our kosher, vegetarian community dinner (Required contribution of $25). During dinner, join us for a conversation with Scholar in Residence, Rabbi Mike Moskowitz. This text-based discussion will explore classic sources and new understanding of the communal responsibility to support LGBT+ folks.

Before services, join fellow Boomers for drinks, snacks, and schmoozing!

After services, join us for a community dinner and conversation with Scholar in Residence, Rabbi Mike Moskowitz. This text-based discussion will explore classic sources and new understanding of the communal responsibility to support LGBT+ folks.   Rabbi Mike Moskowitz is the Scholar-in-Residence for Trans and Queer Jewish Studies at Congregation Beit Simchat Torah, the world’s largest LGBT synagogue. He is a deeply traditional and radically progressive advocate for trans rights and a vocal ally for LGBTQ inclusivity. Rabbi Moskowitz received three Ultra-Orthodox ordinations while learning in the Mir in Jerusalem and in Beth Medrash Govoha in Lakewood, NJ. He is a David Hartman Center Fellow, Wexner Field Fellow, and the author of Textual Activism, Graceful Masculinity, Seasonal Resistance and co-editor of Chaver Up!.    

Wind down and get ready for Shabbat with us! Join our virtual Happy Hour, every Friday at 5pm PST. We are diverse: still working and retired; single, divorced, widowed, and in a relationship; have children, grandchildren, pets, plants, or none of the above; Angelinos and transplants. What we have in common is Ikar, a multitude of experiences, and a desire to spend some of our time enjoying events and experiences with those in our age group. Approximately 60 and above.
