Group Chat: Laughing Matters
Judaism, Comedy, and Identity
From the Borscht Belt to “Seinfeld,” humor and self-deprecation have long been embedded into Judaism’s DNA. Rabbi Aaron unpacks historical examples of comedy in Jewish tradition and explores contemporary Jewish creators and what they reveal about being Jewish today. Pizza and wine on us.
Interfaith Couples Workshop
Rabbi Aaron and Rabbi Nora facilitate a guided, nonjudgmental space for Jews and their non-Jewish partners to talk, learn, and grow – together and as individuals.
Meditation Shabbat
Take the essence of Shabbat – rest and relaxation – and weave it together with guided meditation, singing, and reflection to create a restorative and grounding Shabbat practice. Rabbi Nora and mindfulness teacher Alison Cohen lead this one-hour experience.
