Adult Education
Asynchronous
Virtual
Adult Ed audio sermons recorded by Rabbi Patrick. Learn at your own pace, on your own time. Listen here.
Tuesdays | 6:00 – 8:00PM
Gather
Join us for informal learning sessions where we explore (and debate!) Jewish ideas about life. New topics at every session, from complex questions about God to creating a more loving world. This series is open to anyone age 13+ who is Jewish, wants to be Jewish, loves a Jewish person, or is just a little “Jewcurious”. No Jewish knowledge or experience required.
Shabbat
Fridays | 6:00 – 8:00PM || Saturdays | 10:00AM – 12:00PM
Various Locations
Friday evenings include lighting candles, singing kiddush, and eating challah, followed by a sermon from Rabbi Patrick; we alternate between a potluck and catered meal. Saturday mornings consist of a combined Shabbat service and Torah study, plus a potluck including scrumptious bagel and lox brunch.
Pop-Up Shabbat
Various Saturdays
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. Rabbi Patrick offers spiritual wisdom. Come for a minute or stay the whole day!
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 community.
