Event Details:
This Saturday Morning Service will include biblio-dramaturgical - inspired Torah service— a theatrical, interactive encounter with Torah where your prayers can be answered directly by stepping into the shoes of the characters and act out the portion while the Torah is being read.
We’ll begin together in circle with breath, prayer, and movement, then move into age-specific breakouts, with meaningful Jewish text study and thoughtful conversation with Rabbi Ariel. During Adult text study, kids will enjoy interactive Shabbat fun through movement, nature play, and building their own sukkah out of sticks and leaves!
We will then step into a dynamic Torah-drama and embody the story from the inside out. After the experience, we’ll come together for a community potluck lunch in the Sukkah.
