Solstice Havdalah
Sat, Dec 21 | 4:45-8pm | Register via Linktree in bio

4:45-5:45pm Meditation & Light Snack

Jewish tradition has long embraced darkness as a profound source of wisdom and reflection. The Torah tells us, "Moses approached the thick darkness (arafel) where God was" (Exodus 20:18). On the longest night of the year, join us for a 45-minute meditative sit in the darkness, opening ourselves to the stillness and the teachings it may reveal.

6-7pm Musical Havdalah

Join us for community, connection, and song as we welcome the week ahead. As the sun sets, we`ll gather to celebrate Havdalah with Rabbi Arik and a lineup of talented musical guests. Don`t miss this joyful, uplifting gathering.

7-8pm Candle-Making Activity

Stick around for a creative adult-focused Solstice candle-making activity! Celebrate the longest night of the year by crafting your own candles. It’s a chance to bring warmth, light, and intention into the season. No experience needed—just come ready to create and connect!

Creating The World that is to Come: A Poetry Workshop
In this generative workshop, we will explore creating Olam-Haba (That World That is to Come/The World That is Coming) through poetry. As People of the Book, we will position ourselves in a rich lineage of imagining and building a more just and equitable world through text study and poetry as prayer. We will engage with feminist midrashic poetry, eco-feminist poetry, magic realism, and folktales. Authors will include Alicia Jo Rabbins, Rabbi Rachel Barenblat, Hila Ratzabi, Marge Piercy, and selections from Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs. Together, we’ll envision and write of a more joyful, peaceful, and playful world to come, with a desire to create that reality now. No poetry experience is needed, just a hopeful and imaginative spirit!

Wednesdays, 7-8:30pm: Jan 15, Jan 22, Jan 29 | Or Shalom
