Kabbalat Shabbat—HIAS Refugee Shabbat
Friday, February 3 at 6:30 p.m. | Our colleagues at HIAS host Refugee Shabbat once a year, and we join Jewish communities across the country in honoring those who are refugees and asylum seekers and those who support them in their journeys. During our Shabbat services, we will honor those who won asylum thanks to CBST’s Ark Immigration Clinic in the past year and the volunteers whose work makes this possible.
Tu BiSh'vat Seder
Monday, February 6 at 5:00 p.m. | More info » | Join us in celebrating Tu BiSh'vat—the Jewish new year for the trees! While it may still be winter in New York, growth and change is still happening within the trees and beneath our feet. In a time when climate change is wreaking havoc through wildfires, our tradition gives us an opportunity to come together and bring our awareness to these beautiful creations we depend on in myriad ways.
