Start your Shabbat morning with some meditation and Torah study -- from the comfort of your own couch. This month we are fortunate to have a special guest leader, Linda Holtzman, a Reconstructionist rabbi in Philadelphia. She is currently the acting director of student life and rabbinic formation at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College and the rabbi of the Tikkun Olam Chavurah, a community dedicated to spiritual social justice work. 

If you’d like to join us, please register here.
