Problem(s) of Meaning: What the Wandering Path of a Wayward Rabbi Means for You
Feb. 17 & Feb. 24, 7pm | on Zoom
In this memoir-as-teaching Rabbi Josh will share his journey from rabbi to non-religious & non-observant Jew as a way to examine what it means to be Jewish in the modern world. Weaving together theology, personal narrative, philosophy, Jewish stories and core texts, Rabbi Josh will explore the challenges we face in forging an authentic 21st century Jewish identity.

A Night to Remember: Seder for & with the Houseless
April 16, 2022 | more information coming soon
Each year we begin our seder with an invitation to those who are poor to come and join us as we eat the ‘poor person’s bread’ (matzah). And then we literally close our doors. Not this year! Co/Lab wants to bring the Haggadah to life and make this Passover different as we join together in safety and security with those who are unseen and marginalized in our own city. The seder will happen in April 2022.

Seeing Voices will be held in Spring 2022. Smaller gatherings happening in Winter 2021.
