At Abrahamic House, we believe in sharing and celebrating your unique talents as a special way to connect with others and the divine. We see this value reflected in many of our holy texts and practices, including the Parable of the Talents, Miriam’s song and dance in Exodus, and the ways in which many of our religious traditions gather to sing and dance for holidays.

In that spirit, we invite you to join us for our first-ever open mic to share your passions and/or celebrate all of our performers!

This event will take place on June 6th at 7:30PM. Please indicate on the form if you are interested in performing or joining as an audience member. We will let performers know if they have been selected by June 1st.

What does it mean to live between worlds, cultures, faiths, identities, or seasons of life?

Many of us carry stories of navigating in-between spaces. Last Saturday, we had the honor of hearing from our community members who shared their own journeys of identity, faith, and living between worlds.

The house was completely full with guests filling the room including floor seating so as not to miss a moment. These stories were powerful and engaging, and we're still reflecting on them.
Thank you to everyone who showed up and opened your hearts.

Thanks to our fellows for introducing our amazing speakers, and for organizing this fantastic event that filled us emotionally, spiritually, and with delicious pizza!

Come join us as we bid farewell to Matzah and celebrate the end of Passover with Mimouna!

Mimouna, a traditional festival celebrated by North African Jews on the last day of Passover, marks the return to eating chametz (leavened foods) and a celebration of spring, fertility, hope and renewal.

Mimouna festivals are also a historic space for the gathering of Muslims and Jews!

Come gather with us to celebrate, learn more about Mimouna, and feast on an array of yeast-filled treats.

The Abrahamic House invites you to an afternoon of gimbap-making and conversation about the challenge of forgiveness. Gimbap is a popular Korean dish where rice and various fillings like vegetables and egg are rolled together in seaweed.

We are gathering on Palm Sunday, a day when Christians remember Jesus entering Jerusalem. While many people expected a leader who would use force to settle old scores with their enemies, Jesus arrived as a messenger of peace. This day reminds us that letting go of a grudge is often harder and more courageous than seeking revenge.

Join us for an afternoon of rolling, slicing, and shared reflection. As we learn to roll our gimbap, we will talk about the “work” of forgiveness in our own lives. We will look at stories and verses from Christianity and other traditions that capture the beautiful, frustrating, and essential role of forgiveness in our world today.

This event will take place on Sunday, March 29th at 3 pm

Location details will be provided via email within 72 hours of the event.

Naw-Rúz, literally “new day” in Persian, is the traditional Persian New Year celebrated by different communities around the world and across faith backgrounds for thousands of years, mostly recently among Baháʼís. Rooted in Zoroastrianism, Naw-Rúz marks the coming of spring and celebrates the beginning of new life being breathed into the atmosphere after the long, cold winter. An opportune time to discuss nature and spiritual renewal, for this Naw-Rúz, Abrahamic House will be hosting a brunch and discussion session on “Nature and the Divine Springtime” with our community members. Come join us for a riveting discussion and break bread together to mark the beginning of the New Year.

This event will take place on Saturday, March 21st from 12 pm

🎭 Our Purim and Ayyám-i-Há Masquerade Ball at Eighteenth Street Lounge might just be our biggest event so far this year! With over 80 community members joining in for dancing, a lively Purim shpiel, and shared festivities, it was a joyful celebration of two unique holidays.

While Purim and Ayyám-i-Há spring from different origins, they share a vibrant spirit of community and hospitality.

✡️ Purim celebrates Jewish survival and continuity with the retelling of the Book of Esther. Dressing up and wearing masks symbolizes the “hidden” miracles in the story. A central part of the fun is Mishloach Manot, the tradition of sending gifts of food and drink to friends to ensure the whole community joins in the festive meal.

⚙️ Ayyám-i-Há marks the “intercalary days” of the Bahá’í calendar. It is a period of abundance, hospitality, and gift giving as a lead up to the nineteen day fast.
Both holidays highlight the beauty of bringing people together to share meals, give generously, and celebrate the strength of our diverse communities.

Swipe through the pics to see the best masks, the most creative ‘fits, and the hamantaschen that disappeared way too fast!

A community is only as strong as the joy it shares. We are opening our doors for a night of collective celebration, and the guest of honor is you!

We are taking a page out of the "accomplishment cake" trend to honor your latest chapters, big or small. Whether you finally unpacked the last box in your new apartment, ran your first 5K, got a promotion, or managed to keep a houseplant alive for a whole month, we think that deserves to be recognized. Even if there is no "new" news and it is simply your birthday or the anniversary of a special event, we want to celebrate YOU.

You bring something to show or share: We invite you to bring a photo or a physical object that represents your win. We’ll have the cakes ready for you to add your milestone and join in the celebration. This isn't a networking night or a formal lecture; it’s a community gathering where your personal progress is the main event.

Come as you are, share your news, and let’s find joy in one another's growth.

This event will take place on Thursday, March 12th from 7 pm - 9 pm

Location details will be provided via email within 72 hours of the event.
