The Great Outdoors Shabbat
Friday August 4th, 4:30-7pm

Join us for our festive summer Shabbat series on the Farm House lawn with your friends and family!
The program is simple:
We provide the ambience, challah, candlelighting, and song, and the rest is up to you!
It’s a true picnic-style Shabbat. Bring a picnic dinner, a beverage, picnic blankets/chairs, and bring in Shabbat with a beautiful sunset in the great outdoors.

Tisha B’Av: Ritual + Blues + Poetry
Monday July 31st, 7-8pm

Tisha B’Av (literally the 9th day of the month of “Av”) is a day that commemorates the destructions of the Jewish homeland in 587 BCE and 70 CE.
While it is a day of connecting with the woundedness of losing one’s homeland, it is also a chance to renew the depth of our compassion to every soul who has experienced it.
On July 31st, we’ll observe Tisha B’Av in a creative way led by Rabbi Nadav Caine, the president of the San Diego Rabbinic Association. The evening will feature some traditional ritual, blues music, and spoken word poetry.
Free/RSVP
