We say Dayenu every year; this year, maybe it isn’t enough. What about Yom HaShoah, Yom HaZikaron, Yom HaAtzma’ut, Lag B’Omer, and Shavuot? How do we make meaning of our spring holidays in a post-October 7 world? Come join this 6-week group to explore how we decide to celebrate Jewishly in the next few months. This space is not to talk politics, but rather to be in community to share our questions, coping ideas, and spiritual joy. Limited to 12 participants; registration required. Suggested donation of anywhere from $10-180 for all 6 sessions.
