SCHEDULE OF EVENTS:
7:15pm – 7:45pm two sessions offered
Option 1: Shabbos and The World to Come: Connecting the Dots
With Morah Yehudis Fishman
Our sages tell us that Shabbos is a “semblance” of the World to Come. What does this mean and how do we ‘get there?’ It seems like hard work and yet, Shabbos is a day of rest. We will explore some of the linguistic clues, such as ‘Oneg (delight)’ that can help us experience this exalted state that is also known as“One sixtieth of the World to Come.”
Option 2: Shavuot Yoga for Receiving Divine Wisdom
with Jenna Zakada
Join us for a gentle 30-minute yoga flow to tune into this holiday of revelation and open up your body to receiving divine wisdom. We’ll take time to breathe, meditate, and move together to deepen into this month of harmony, collective unity, and wholeness.

Soulful preparation for bringing in the holiday.
