FebFebruary 6 , 2025God is Here: Exploring Metaphors for the Divine
Thursday, Feb 6th 6:00p to 7:30p
Join Rabbis Debra Cantor and Rachel Zerin for a hands-on exploration of different metaphors for the Divine. These metaphors are all deeply rooted in Jewish tradition, while broadening the ways we think about, talk about, and relate to God and the idea of the Holy. Inspired by Rabbi Toba Spitzer's book "God is Here: Reimagining the Divine," we will use text study, discussion, writing, art, ritual, and more to think about how language and metaphor shape our experiences - and how language and metaphor can either limit or expand how we experience holiness in our lives. Registration coming soon! -
Thursday ,
FebFebruary 6 , 2025Niggun and Song Circle
Thursday, Feb 6th 8:00p to 9:00p
Join Rabbi Zerin for an hour of learning new melodies and singing familiar ones. You will even have the opportunity to teach a favorite niggun or prayer melody if you'd like! This will be a chance to learn some of the melodies we will be incorporating into both Friday night and Saturday morning services, so while you are welcome to come only to the Niggun and Song Circle, we hope that those who come on Thursday will also join us over Shabbat to add their voices to our services.
