Dear Lab/Shul Community,

Oh, what a night! Over 230 of us joined together at the Museum of Jewish Heritage for our sold out Gala, celebrating ten years of recharging ritual reality and toasting our magnificent Milestone Minyan who represent all that we are and who we strive to be. Thank you to so many who joined, sent blessings and well wishes. Your generosity truly sustains us!

BLESS: There’s still time to make a financial contribution in support of Lab/Shul’s transformative work and offer a blessing to any of our Milestone Minyan, which will be shared with them and posted on our website for the next year.

And in case you missed it, yesterday was officially declared Lab/Shul Day in NYC! Check out citations from Mayor Adams and State Assemblyperson Deborah Glick. (Photo by Lab/Shul Partner Ali Levin).

As we bask in the afterglow of our Gala, let us carry the spirit of the tree within us—grounded in our shared roots, connected through our collaborative efforts, and ever-growing towards the sunlight of our collective aspirations. Thank you, Lab/Shul community, for being the vibrant and nurturing ecosystem that allows us to thrive.

May we continue to grow, bloom, and inspire one another.

Happy (belated) Lab/Shul Day!

Love,

The Lab/Shul Team
