“My task is not to debate whether I’m a Jew or not, but to figure out what kind of Jew I am. For me, finding a secular Jewish community with progressive politics fits my version of that identity.”

Our Shabes gatherings include inspiring readings, joyous song, secular ritual blessings, and meaningful conversations over a potluck meal. This is a time for reflection, restoration, and connection.
6:15 PM schmooze, 6:45 PM Shabes program, 7:30 PM potluck dinner. All events hosted at the new BWC building: 6 Webster St. Brookline, MA 02446
Please bring a dish to share when you join us for Shabes. We have a small kitchen, so please bring dishes fully prepared if possible. No time to cook? Many of us bring takeout! We’ll provide the wine, juice, and challah.
See the BWC calendar for specific descriptions of each Shabes gathering and to RSVP. RSVPs help us plan for set-up!
