“Lab/Shul describes itself as an “everybody friendly, artist-driven, God-optional, pop-up Jewish community, based in NYC, reaching the world.” It is part of the Jewish Emergent Network, a group of young congregations that share “a devotion to revitalizing the field of Jewish engagement, a commitment to approaches both traditionally rooted and creative, and a demonstrated success in attracting unaffiliated and disengaged Jews to a rich and meaningful Jewish practice.” Led by Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie, an additional rabbi and an ensemble of musicians and actors. The Torah service is generally “Storahtelling”-style, with a dramatic interpretation of the text.”
