“We do not often speak of oaths in 2026. The language can sound ancient or overly formal. I mostly associate it now with taking public office: a ritual acknowledgment that power and responsibility should be tethered to accountability and shared principles.

But perhaps it would be useful to recover the language of oaths more broadly. To speak more openly about the covenant we have that holds community together:
the obligations of friendship,
the promises embedded in family,
the responsibilities of leadership,
the covenant between neighbors,
the duties we owe to vulnerable people,
the commitments we make simply by showing up for one another again and again.”

Join us for A Milestone of Spirit & Study: Adult B’Mitzvah Kadima Community Celebration! 🎉🎉🎉

Saturday, June 6th, 9:30am - 2:30pm, Christ Episcopal Church�

Service: 9:30am – 12:30pm
Lunch & Celebration: 12:30pm – 2:30pm

Join us for a truly remarkable morning as we honor 16 dedicated students who have spent the past year immersed in deep group, personal, and chevruta study.��

On Saturday, June 6, 2026, these individuals will ascend to the Torah for Parashat Shlach L’cha. This ceremony is a testament to lifelong learning and spiritual growth; our B’mitzvah will lead us in prayer, read from the sacred scroll, and share their unique insights through words of Torah. 📜

The service will be followed by a festive, supplemented bagel lunch and potluck. We invite you to bring a side, salad, drink, or dessert to share if you are able—but most importantly, bring yourself and your dear ones for an afternoon of song and dance. 🎉

Please let us know via the form below if you’re coming by June 1st.

Whether you know one of the B’mitzvah or not, we would love for you to be part of this remarkable milestone! 💛

“Maybe that is the challenge and invitation of Bamidbar for communities in the midst of uncertain seasons. We may wish for clarity, certainty, or quick repair. But Bamidbar suggests that moving forward together begins more simply, more slowly, and less linearly: by recognizing that every person matters, by re-learning how to orient ourselves around shared sacred purpose, and by moving at the speed of trust*, persistent to relationship and holiness.”

*Thank you Adrienne Marie Brown for the concept of “moving at the speed of trust" : https://thespringpoint.com/shared-learnings/adrienne-maree-brown-moving-at-the-speed-of-trust/
