All are welcome to join us for Pride Shabbat Under the Stars sponsored by Beth El Temple's Inclusion Committee. Come for all the things you love about Shabbat Under the Stars, including a joyful service outside and dinner with your Beth El friends, and stay after dinner for a special program in honor of Pride Month!
Adults will hear from Ozzy Gold-Shapiro (they/them), a curious historian, Yiddishist, musician, gifted storyteller, and senior facilitator from Keshet. Combining their own life story with song and text study, join Ozzy for an communal exploration of the importance of transition — temporal, spatial, physical, & metaphysical — in the Jewish context. At the same time, Dr. Eliyahu will run a program for kids about LGBTQ inclusion.
This event is being underwritten by the Diane & Richard Lieberfarb Endowment Fund, a named fund within The Endowment Fund of Beth El Temple.

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!
