At our recent Annual Meeting, we celebrated that we're getting gayer, with over 40% of our members identifying as LGBTQI+! 🏳️‍🌈

In a way, every Shabbat is Pride Shabbat – but we'll still take the occasion of Pride Month to celebrate the many q***r leaders in our midst. We hope you'll come on out on Saturday, June 20 for a songful morning service led by Rachel, Maureen, & Jake! ✨

Our Havdalah crafting worskhop and tish (table singing) on Saturday evening went wonderfully! Shoutout to Raya & Drewe for organizing and leading the workshop. 🙌

Drewe writes: "It felt so joyful in our sanctuary to see people engaging with creating their own ritual objects, learning songs & prayers, and then putting it all right to use the same evening. May the learning continue!" ✨

We missed the window to apply to table at Ferndale Pride this Saturday, but we bet you'll find some T'chiyahniks floating around to say "good Shabbos" to! 🏳️‍🌈

All are welcome to walk down the block come on out to Havdalah at 7 PM ✨

Come learn and practice the art of making Havdalah! ✨

Our facilitators will guide you in creating your own ritual objects for Havdalah, the ritual that marks the separation between Shabbat and the rest of the week.

Drewe and Raya will help you braid your own Havdalah candle, create a custom spice blend, decorate a box for storing ritual items, and teach you how to lead your own at-home Havdalah service.

Learn more and RSVP for the workshop, which will take place before our Havdalah song circle at 7 PM. Please RSVP by 5/20 so we can get the supplies!
