SAYDER 2024
L’SHANA HA'BAA. Next Year! The Seder ends with a hopeful intention - next year in Jerusalem, the symbolic city of peace. What is next in our individual and collective vision for hope and change? What can each of us commit to in the coming year to bring about a better, kinder, and more just world? Led by Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie & the Lab/Shul Ritual Team, featuring special guests Libby Lenkinski, Mushon Zer-Aviv, and David Broza.
ReCollect Seasonal Kaddish Gathering
Lab/Shul’s ReCollect/Yizkor is a seasonal gathering to remember our loved ones, share stories, lift memory, and say Kaddish, the ancient memorial prayer, together.
ReCollect Seasonal Kaddish Gathering
Whether experiencing a recent loss, remembering a loved one who passed long ago, or showing up to support community, we will gather each season to acknowledge feelings of loss that can be particularly painful as we anticipate an empty chair at the table. We will share memories and poetry, break bread together, and recite Kaddish for our loved ones – the ancient memorial prayer.
Sacred Grief: Tisha Ba’av
Join Lab/Shul and Temple of the Stranger for a profound experience of grieving in community as we observe the holiest day of mourning on the Jewish calendar, Tisha Ba'av. Using sacred texts and the power of our voices we'll explore the rituals of the mikonenet, the ancient female grief workers of the Jewish tradition. Led by Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie, Rav Jericho Vincent, and Spiritual Leader Shira Kline, featuring special guest Reverend Derrick McQueen.
