In a world where everything is fast, everything is reactive, we're holding space for men who want to slow down, learn, reflect, debate, and connect. That's what our Men's Wisdom Circles offer, plain and simple. It's not a lecture series. It’s not a fundraising ask. And it’s definitely not a High Holiday guilt trip.

Best way to find out if this is a fit for you? Try it. This weekend, we're gathering at an in-town home with Rabbi Joshua Lesser and Dan Arnold, LCSW. Small group, casual atmosphere, real conversation grounded in Jewish text and tradition.

🗓️ Sunday, April 12 from 7:00 - 8:30 PM

Saturday @ The Wylde Center, two incredible Shabbat experiences await! ☀️🌷

For our early riser adults: At 9:15 AM, Jonny Kleinman will lead a gentle, all-levels yoga practice that invites you to step away from the week’s noise and into sacred rest. Come as you are, just be sure to bring a yoga mat! Register here ➡️ https://maalot.breezechms.com/form/shabbat-yoga-april2026

For our families with littles: At 10:00 AM, we're partnering with Congregation Bet Haverim to bring you Tot Shabbat in the Garden! Through singing, movement, storytelling, and hands-on nature play, little ones (and their grown-ups) will experience the warmth and rhythm of Shabbat in a way that is playful, meaningful, and developmentally attuned for children ages 1-6.

Looking for lively, musical, meaningful Shabbat experience? Join us at Congregation Shearith Israel for Kabbalat Shabbat in the Round on Friday night at 6 pm, followed by a delicious vegetarian/dairy potluck dinner.

The leaders of Shabbat in the Round know that it’s better to offer a few words of prayer with kavvanah (intention and feeling) than many words without it. (Rambam agrees). So we sing just one verse from various psalms of Kabbalat Shabbat, and we sing it over and over so we can really feel it. No need to flip through a heavy prayer book, all the words you need are on one sheet or projected, complete with English transliteration and translation. You could dance and jump, cry, laugh, or sit in silence and stillness. We embrace it all, the highs and lows, the joy and the grief, together.

5:50 - arrive and find your seat
6:05 - candle lighting and services

Join Ma’alot and Congregation Bet Haverim for a joyful Shabbat morning designed especially for families with children ages 1–6.

Together, we’ll welcome Shabbat outdoors at — surrounded by trees, open sky, and space to explore. Through singing, movement, storytelling, and hands-on nature play, little ones (and their grown-ups) will experience the warmth and rhythm of Shabbat in a way that is playful, meaningful, and developmentally attuned.

This special Tot Shabbat gathering brings together Ma’alot’s music- and nature-based spiritual community with CBH’s vibrant family programming. It’s a beautiful opportunity to connect across communities while nurturing your child’s Jewish curiosity and joy.
