Dear Community,

Happy Summer! The solstice has come and we are thrown into the heat and joy of summer AND what JOY it was to be together at the REENTRY Shabbat - simply incredible to all be together again as a community! Thank you to everyone who made the reopening so wonderful. AND now we come again and again as Shabbes keeps coming! Our next Shabbat is Friday July 2nd at 7pm at St. Paul's Commons in Echo Park located at 840 Echo Park Avenue, LA 90026. All are welcome!

Going forward - if you are able to register in advance it is helpful to us to know who is coming AND it is also ok if you show up without registering in advance. Please register HERE. You are most welcome to bring friends and family with you. We VERY MUCH need volunteers at each service so if you are able to come a bit early or stay a bit after and help out please sign up. You can sign up HERE for each upcoming service. 

St. Paul's Commons is such a great space because it flows from indoor to outdoor. In light of the new guidelines of the State of California we will continue to have vaccinated folks inside or outside, and unvaccinated folks outside. Vaccinated folks can make a personal decision if you want to wear a mask or not wear a mask. 

Save the dates:

• Tisha B’Av Sunday night July 18. It is a night of candlelight, LAMENTATIONS, and ritual to honor grief and loss. It will be held at St Paul’s Commons.
• Thursday night July 22 we will show the documentary film Hotel Everest by Nefesh Kin Claudia Sobral which centers on a dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians at the Hotel Everest. More information on both of these events coming soon.
