Tisha B’av Evening Services

This year, our day commemorating the destruction of the Temple seems particularly relevant given the events of October 7 and the war that followed.  To honor this day, we will combine traditional chants and prayers with a study of some of the powerful Israeli poetry written since October 7 on the themes of loss and destruction.   Come chant, be together, and hold the loss and grief of those events last fall.   

In-person ONLY.

Usher in the holiday of Torah with an evening of study and discussion. Join us for fascinating presentations that tackle some of the most relevant and hot-button topics.

Join us Tuesday June 11th 6:30-9pm for brief Mincha (afternoon) and Festival Maariv (evening) services, followed by a workshop with Kulanu where we will study classic definitions of antisemitism. In chevrutah pairs and through group discussion we will explore the Torah’s perspective on this oldest form of hatred and consider how we might build alliances with non-Jews. After that we will take a break for some cheesecake and then conclude the evening with some chanting of niggunim (wordless melodies) and learning with Rabbi Aaron about the mystical origins of Shavuot rituals.

Come celebrate Shavuot and the promise of a land of milk and honey with a scoop of ice cream from the Lake Champlain Chocolates Ice Cream Truck! Join us for one or both events!
