• Shabbat service followed by an oneg
• In lieu of a sermon, Jese will lead a discussion on Chapters 12 and 21 from My Jewish Year by Abigail Pogrebin.
• Notes from Jese regarding the dicussion: “As we reflect on Parashat Shemot and its emphasis on identity, rest, and collective responsibility, we are reminded that liberation is not only about leaving Egypt, it is also about learning how to live freely. One of the ways we practice that freedom is through Shabbat. Please remember that our book club study of My Jewish Year continues, and we are now focusing on the sections dedicated to Shabbat. These chapters invite us to think deeply about rest, sacred time, and how Shabbat can ground Jewish life, especially in communities like our own. We invite everyone to join us for discussion in place of a formal sermon this month. Come prepared with talking points, reflections, or questions that stood out to you, as well as what shabbat means to you and how it is sacred and special. Whether you observe Shabbat traditionally, creatively, occasionally, or are still figuring out what it means in your life, your voice adds richness to the conversation. Much like Shemot reminds us that every name matters, our study reminds us that every perspective matters too. We look forward to learning, questioning, and sharing together as we continue shaping a Jewish year that is meaningful, nourishing, and deeply connected to our community.”
