Join the community for weekly facilitated drop-in conversations led by community members (you can come every week or once in a while). We will engage in loving, civil, and brave discourse about the situation in Israel and Gaza and make space for connection and grieving through small group conversation, ritual, and reflection. We aim to create space for a variety of community needs and all perspectives will be honored. Come with a willingness to sit in complexity and a desire to connect with each other. These conversations will begin as a place of connection with the intention that they might lead to opportunities for learning and action.

Wednesday, Jul 23rd 6:30p to 7:30p
Avodat Lev, meaning “heart work”, is a songful, contemplative prayer practice that follows the format of the weekday services in a mix of simple chants, meditations, and poetry in Hebrew and English. The practice is meant to guide us in greeting the afternoon/evening, acknowledging our own holiness and our connection to the holiness of Creation, expressing gratitude, and setting an intention for the month/ season ahead. Avodat Lev was developed by the Adamah program at Isabella Freedman. No prior prayer knowledge or practice is required and all are welcome. -
