Dear Lab/Shul,

Today is the first day of December; winter holidays are almost upon us. And while the war still grips our hearts with deep concern – and as we watch with bated breath for any sign of good news – it is on us to not lose hope and to continue coming together to offer each other support, solidarity, and lots and lots of light!

Hanukkah is coming and we invite you for ALL 8 nights, featuring a Nightly Virtual Candle Lighting Ritual to Spark Wonder Now. Home to home, screen to screen, heart to heart – lighting it up for peace and healing.

All ages. Everybody Friendly. Stay tuned for more info coming soon.

Our Winter Retreat is next weekend. Have you registered yet? Flex pay options available for all who need.

Join us tomorrow afternoon for Shabbat in Harlem or online for GENerate’s Soulspa: our Shabbat ritual celebrating the 3rd cohort of GENerate featuring meditation, music, a nosh, Havdalah & an original Storahtelling ritual. Whether you are feeling hopeful, distraught, craving connection or even numb, you are welcome with us.

WATCH: As a way to help you usher in this week’s Shabbat, we offer this illuminating video by our Associate Clergy Ben Freeman, taken straight from the altar of our last Sabbath Queen. Our hope is that this helps light up just a little something inside of you that Sparks Wonder, Now.

Shabbat Shalom, with hope for peace and healing everywhere.

Let there be light,
The Lab/Shul Team
