Zen Shabbat

A Jewish and Zen Shabbat Celebration – In Person & On Zoom

Lab/Shul and the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care invite you to a shared experience of sacred space and time, harmonizing Jewish and Zen traditions in the celebration of Sabbath spirit. The first of our quarterly Zen Shabbats, this evening we will welcome in the divine changes of the autumn season.

7:00pm – Breathe, welcome to the space. Exhale…

7:30pm – Ritual music, meditation, spiritual teaching, and conversation led by Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison, Sensei Robert Chodo Campbell, Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie, and Lab/Shul’s Ritual Team.

Location & Capacity

We are thrilled to hold Zen Shabbat in person at the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care, and on Zoom! In order to keep our community safe, and socially-distanced, we are limiting in-person capacity to thirty people.

All in-person registrants will be entered into a lottery, with a drawing held on Wednesday, November 3, and confirmation messages sent out the same day. We thank you for your flexibility as we “lab” this new, equitable system for honoring venue capacity.

COVID Safety

For folks attending in person, proof of vaccination will be required for entry. Masks must be worn indoors at all times.

Accessibility

The NYZC is within 1 block of the 1, 2, N, Q, R, and W trains. There are no steps to enter the space, and chairs will be provided.
