SUMMARY:Death Over Dinner: Jewish Edition
DESCRIPTION:Death Over Dinner: Jewish Edition\nMonday\, February 12th\n6:30 – 8:30pm\nBrooklyn\nThroughout the past several years\, grief and loss have been an inextricable part of our collective lives. Death Over Dinner: Jewish Edition is an invitation to address the basic human fact that we are all\, at some point\, going to die\, and to do it over the table\, a place where we can break bread and create connections. \nThis event will include an opportunity to discuss essential questions\, and consider how to live well in the face of mortality. Over a delicious dinner (because we should also enjoy!)\, we will have an exploration of accessible Jewish texts to prompt questions and discussions about quality of life\, decision making\, and communicating wishes with loved ones. \nWe will be led by Rabbi Melanie Levav\, from our partner Shomer Collective\, and Naomi Less of Lab/Shul. They believe that talking about death not only better prepares us to approach life’s most challenging moments\, but also helps us articulate and affirm who we are and what we ultimately care about. Created by rabbis\, theologians\, wellness\, and palliative care experts\, Death Over Dinner: Jewish Edition provides a unique lens through which to build and strengthen our personal beliefs about life and death. \nJoin The Neighborhood\, Shomer Collective\, and Lab/Shul for a gathering in a brave\, healing space to talk about how we choose to live our lives\, recognizing that they are finite. We will have vegetarian food and mock-tails\, hosted at a progressive\, LGBTQ-affirming dinner church in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn\, New York\, who are working to dispel isolation\, reconnect neighbors\, and subvert the status quo. \nThis is designed to be an adult-level intellectual and emotional conversation. \nRegister here >

SUMMARY:Songs of Toratah: Album Release Concert
DESCRIPTION:Songs of Toratah: Album Release Concert\nThursday\, February 29\n7:00–8:30 pm ET\nNYC\nThe Torah has traditionally centered on men\, and music inspired by the Bible has often followed suit. But what if we could experience songs that embrace matriarchy and the Feminine Divine as the unquestioned core of our foundational narratives? How would it sound\, and what kind of impact would it have? \nCelebrate the opening of Central Synagogue’s new exhibition Toratah: The Artistry of Transformation\, with a concert marking the album release of Zimratah: Songs of Toratah – a collection of songs that celebrate the language of Toratah\, a revolutionary rewrite of the Hebrew Bible. In the exhibition and concert\, Toratah reverses the genders of all its characters\, placing women at the center of our sacred texts and opens up possibilities for gender diversity. \nThis concert features acclaimed and stylistically diverse international singer-songwriters who composed singable melodies from verses of Toratah. Through their words and music\, they contribute to the creation of a new cultural language. After singing and dancing with us\, partake in a celebratory reception in our exhibition space to experience Toratah: The Artistry of Transformation\, with visual artwork by BeitToratah.org founder Yael Kanarek. \nSongs composed and performed by: Shira Averbuch\, Elana Brody\, Koach Baruch (KB) Frazier\, Au.D\, Yuli Yael Be’eri\, Yosef Goldman\, Naomi Less\, Rabbi Annie Lewis\, Chava Mirel*\, Alicia Jo Rabins\, Miriam Rubin\, Beth Schafer*\, Basya Schechter\, Julie Silver*\, and Kohenet Dr. Harriette E. Wimms\, and featuring our own Jenna Pearsall and Beth Reinstein.\n*These artists’ works will be performed by others in the concert.  \nExecutive Producer: Yael Kanarek\nArtistic Producer: Naomi Less\nMusic Producer: Yuli Be’eri\nAdvisor: Tamar Biala \nAs of February 1\, 2024\, this concert is co-sponsored by  Beit Toratah\, Central Synagogue\, SAJ\, Lab/Shul\, Ayin Press\, JOC Mishpacha Project\, LABA\, B’nai Jeshurun\, CBST\, Romemu\, Aleph Alliance\, Beit Kohenet\, Kolot Chayeinu\, Barnert Temple\, Temple Emanu-El\, The Shalom Center and Temple of the Stranger.
