Current & Upcoming Events

Song Circle with Molly Bajgot
Wednesday, Nov 13, 7:00 pm, at TBI

Join Molly Bajgot on her West Coast tour for an evening of music from Molly’s original album of Jewish music, Revelry, along with unrecorded new music that weaves together liturgy and original prayers for transformation. Come sing out and be sung to! You are invited to show up as you are.

Molly Bajgot (she/her) is a queer Jewish musician, educator, and organizer living on Nipmuc & Pocumtuc land in Easthampton, MA. Molly writes songs of hope and healing and original melodies to enliven Jewish liturgy. Her music comes from places of pain, joy, grief, and a commitment to life and beauty. Molly leads music, prayer, and life cycle rituals locally and nationally with a commitment to collective liberation. She is currently on tour with her first full album of original Jewish music, Revelry, released in February, 2024. CLICK HERE to learn more about her offerings and to contact her.

Exploring Mindfulness in Judaism w/Barry Nobel, JD, PhD
Sundays: Nov 3 & 10, 1:00-2:15 pm
TBI

Although mindfulness has become very popular during the past two decades, it is less well known that the development of mindfulness lies at the heart of the Jewish way of life. We will explore the benefits of mindfulness practice and its role in leading a fulfilling Jewish life. We will also practice together (in short stretches) and examine ways to overcome the major obstacles to developing a dedicated practice. Beginners & experienced practitioners alike are welcome! $18 for members; $36 for non-members. Registration deadline is Nov 9th. Minimum of 5 participants.
