Fridays | 6:00 – 8:00PM

Home Hosted Shabbat offers us an opportunity to enjoy our fellow members hospitality. Delicious meals, wonderful company. We light the Shabbat candles, sing kiddush, hear some spiritual words from the rabbi, and enjoy a meal together.

Holidays

Various Times/Locations

Our approach to holidays is bold, experimental, and inclusive. This is not your typical “synagogue” service—our events guarantee fun, and are open to the entire community, often for free or low cost.

Other Programs

Pop-Up Shabbat
Meet us for Shabbat morning and afternoon at your favorite farmer’s markets and festivals, including VA Pridefest and Carytown Watermelon Festival. We’ll bring a few folding chairs, bottled water, and lots of love. Come for a minute or stay the whole day!

Adult Education with Rabbi Patrick
A few times a year, Rabbi will host a class on an important topic. Sometimes in-person, sometimes online, and always relevant and meaningful.

Social Circles
Not everything needs to be an “event.” Some of the most meaningful moments happen when you’re just… with people. Take a look at our Social Circles — gather to talk, eat, laugh, reflect, or just be together.
