Valley Circle Hanukkah Potluck

Hidden in the dry details of genealogy and geography is the actual beginning of Avraham’s story– a beginning that fundamentally changes how we understand the call he receives, the family he leaves, and the journey he undertakes.

Opening our hearts and our doors to people of all abilities backgrounds and talents. As a part of disability Shabbat, IKAR member Matan Koch explores the ideas of openness, welcoming and access in the context of embracing each person’s unique reflection of the divine. He takes us on a journey from Talmudic thought to present-day actions, exhorting us to be the kind of community where all of the reflections of the divine are known, and seen.

Featuring the stories, perspectives, and wisdom of folks in our own community.

A lighthearted and serious look at the shared strengths of the most majestic of trees and the ancient resilient Children of Israel.
