Events for September 2023

Join Judson Memorial Church’s Mark Gilman, a multifaith community organizer and Lab/Shul’s Co-Founder and Spiritual Leader Shira Kline, to explore how we can find the richest hope in seeing our ugliest legacies. To heal the world, we must face its wounds.

Ready to let go of last year in order to fully embrace this one? Join us after morning ritual at TPAC in our annual tradition of processing to Rockefeller Park to shed last year’s attachments with focused intention, music, and joy.

Join Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie, Shira Kline and more Lab/Shul friends on the second day of Rosh Hashanah as we pray with our feet at the March to End Fossil Fuels.

Join us on the night of atonement for a communal conversation, led by creative experts, exploring strategies for engaging in difficult debates about some of the critical issues we face. How can reflection on death and democracy, the use of psychedelic drugs and the pursuit of divinity help us to lead more meaningful and helpful lives?

ReCollect/Yizkor is a seasonal gathering to remember our loved ones, share stories, lift memory, and say Kaddish, the ancient memorial prayer, together. Whether experiencing a recent loss, remembering a loved one who passed away long ago, or showing up in support of community, we gather to acknowledge feelings of loss that can be particularly painful as we anticipate an empty chair at our tables.

In a time where our religious freedoms are being challenged as is democracy itself, we must use our voices across faith traditions together to ensure our freedoms.   

Join Lab/Shul’s ritual team along with siblings of faith to sing, meditate and practice spiritual tools for grounding and contemplation in times of challenge and uncertainty. 

The lavish Lab/Shul Communal Break-Fast is back! Enjoy an elevated menu of traditional Yom Kippur Break Fast cuisine, reimagined with contemporary flavors and unlimited select wines.
