Shabbat, Holidays, & Adult Learning

These are our core programs. Make sure to check our calendar for dates and information, as well as join our email list for updates.

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.
