It’s the New Year of Trees, and the Lab/Shul Team is on a vision retreat in Brooklyn celebrating our fruitful harvest and planting next year’s orchard. We’ll be unplugged for the next 3 days, but hope to see you…

THIS FRIDAY in the East Village to bring on mystical full moon mystery at our annual Sabbath Queen: Fruit Feast! Come with a fruity offering to share, and help us welcome our special guest: speaker, organizer, and writer Onleilove Chika Alston.

The cherry on top? These two fantastic articles celebrating our leaders, each working to make this world a better place:

+ Naomi Less in The Forward on her incredible organization Uprooted: A Jewish Response to Fertility Journeys.

+ Michael Dorf, Board Chair, in Pollstar on City Winery’s aid work in Puerto Rico (yet another reason to honor Michael at our GALA ON JUNE 5th!)

Be fruity, be fruitful.
