Lab/Shul’s Recollect/Yizkor gatherings offer grief support for those in active mourning, experiencing loss and/or observing a yahrzeit.

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.

As we prepare for the upcoming Passover holiday, a time when the pain of loss may be more on the surface as we anticipate holidays without our loved ones, we will be gathering both IN PERSON in NYC and VIRTUALLY online. 

April 11th at 7:00pm we will gather IN PERSON in NYC, held in space by Naomi Less at the home of community member Jennifer Bleyer.

April 23rd at 12pm, the end of Passover when Yizkor/Memorial prayers are traditionally recited, we will gather VIRTUALLY, held in space by facilitators Naomi Less and Lori Roth Gale. Memorial prayers will be chanted. 

Whichever event you choose, you will be held with love. We will co-create sacred space for each other in both large and small groups to remember our loved ones.  

You can join our weekly Virtual Mourner’s Kaddish Call, every Thursday at 12:00pm ET.
