Let’s fly together 🐤 We’re still flying high from the hope and wisdom of Susan Goldberg ‘s Yom Kippur sermon, where she explored our High Holy Days theme of starling murmurations, and what we can learn from them in these times.

Watch the full sermon on our YouTube channel (link in bio) and join us for Erev Shabbat this Friday evening at 7pm in Echo Park and on Zoom and YouTube Livestream.

This gathering is designed both for those who have practiced Mussar (a Jewish wisdom perspective and a discipline of spiritual practice) before, and those who are new to the learning and practice.

Scenes from the final day of the Clear the Road to Freedom! Pilgrimage 📸 After 96.5 miles in record-setting heat, the walkers completed their pilgrimage, which began at Adelanto Detention Center, at the Los Angeles Federal Building and the Metropolitan Detention Center in DTLA.

We walked to bring awareness for the targeted immigrant community, and to serve as a voice of protest for those for whom it is not safe to speak out.
