As we gather to remember the destruction of the Temples and other tragedies in Jewish history, we invite you to an evening of prayer, reflection, and community.

Together we will sing, pray in a quiet and contemplative setting, and read from Eicha (Lamentations).

We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful evening.

Last week, participants gathered for our monthly Judaica Art Class, where we transformed natural pebble stones into meaningful works of art inspired by L'Dor V'Dor - the Jewish value of passing traditions, love, and connection from generation to generation.

Each piece was a unique reflection of family and the bonds that connect us across generations.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for such a creative and inspiring evening!
