Sinai and the covenant that binds the Jewish people to one another\, the divine\, and our sacred and expansive relationship to Torah. Many communities celebrate Shavuot by spending the night learning. As we move into the eighth month since October 7th\, we invite Boston Jews committed to ceasefire to come together and wrestle with Torah and other texts on the themes of covenant and liberation. \nThis program will be held at Boston Workers Circle (6 Webster St Brookline)\, in proximity to the Brookline Community tikkun hosted at KI (Kehillath Israel) on Harvard Street. We encourage people to participate in both! \nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to Cynthia at Nehar Shalom (communications@neharshalom.org) who will pass these on to the organizing team.Register Here!

The traditional word for “sin” is “khet”.  A more modern translation goes back to the original meaning of “khet” from archery — “to miss the mark”. \nWe throw pebbles into the water to represent our “sins” and those burdens\, regrets\, disappointments\, old thinking\, missed opportunities\, excuses\, or rationalizations that interfere with our living full lives. At the same time\, we embrace hope to do better and set our intentions on hitting our marks in the coming year. \nWhat to throw? We suggest bringing pebbles to throw because bread\, even challah\, is not good for the ducks and geese. \nDetails will be shared closer to the holiday! \nRegister Here.
