Even amidst these hot summer days, we know that the High Holidays are around the corner and we are busily preparing for Kesher Pittsburgh’s 11th High Holiday season.

For 5787, Kesher Pittsburgh will be hosting a combined Rosh Hashanah / Tashlich service on the morning of Saturday, September 12, as well as our usual candlelit Kol Nidre on the evening of Sunday, September 20.

We are so excited to be together as we welcome 5787 with the soulful and song-filled services that we have all come to love. We hope you’ll join us!

Beginning tomorrow at 11:00am Rabbis for Ceasefire, the American Council for Judaism, Kesher Pittsburgh, and over 30 partner organizations will co-host a 24 hour Shavuot Teach-in under the theme “From the US to Palestine: Solidarity is Holy.”

Shavuot celebrates the revelation of Torah on Mount Sinai, and it is tradition to study all night long to use learning as a tool for repairing a broken world.

The 24 hour teach-in will offer workshops on wide ranging topics from protective presence work, wealth redistribution, prison abolition, arms embargo, and so much more. Join for one session or stay for the whole 24 hours.

As you may know, Jewish Studio Project is an organisation that’s near to my heart. Not only do I love facilitating the process (join us sometime!) but it has helped me to reclaim making art as a way to beautify my world and nourish my soul.

This incredible org is turning 10 and I’m delighted to celebrate with them on March 1 at “We The Process”!

There will be music, art-making and inspirational messages, all part of our collective effort to support JSP’s future.

I’ve signed on as an ambassador and am asking for help in raising $1,000 as a collective birthday gift for JSP. If you’re in a position to help, I’d appreciate it - no amount is too small or too large!
