Join us for a musical service to welcome in Shabbat, followed by a delicious vegetarian/dairy potluck dinner.
We believe that it’s better to offer a few words of prayer with kavvanah (intention and feeling) than many words without it. (Rambam agrees). So we sing just one verse from various psalms of Kabbalat Shabbat, and we sing it over and over so we can really feel it. No need to flip through a heavy prayer book, all the words you need are on one sheet, complete with English transliteration and translation. You could dance and jump, cry, laugh, or sit in silence and stillness. We embrace it all, the highs and lows, the joy and the grief, together.
Wisdom Circles are monthly, co-led gatherings that promote deep connection, personal reflection, and collaborative learning rooted in Jewish wisdom. Women’s Circles have been part of Ma’alot since its earliest days. They offer a place to step out of the rush of daily life and into a circle of honesty, warmth, and reflection and taste our signature Wisdom Circle programming without the commitment.
This event centers individuals who have lived experience as a girl, woman, and/or femininity. Trans, non-binary, and cis individuals are welcome.
Venue: Home in Candler Park, address to be sent out 24 hours before event.
Come as you are. Bring your voice, your questions, and your presence. This evening is about gathering, grounding, and strengthening the relationships that sustain us.
