Join Lab/Shul and Temple of the Stranger for a profound experience of grieving in community as we observe the holiest day of mourning on the Jewish calendar, Tisha Ba'av. Using sacred texts and the power of our voices we'll explore the rituals of the mikonenet, the ancient female grief workers of the Jewish tradition. Led by Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie, Rav Jericho Vincent, and Spiritual Leader Shira Kline, featuring special guest Reverend Derrick McQueen.
An animated epic set 2,000 years ago during Roman rule in Israel, the film portrays a Jewish civil war and the destruction of the Second Temple, reshaping Jewish history. Winner of four Israeli Academy Awards. Voice acting by Oscar Isaac, Elliott Gould, Evangeline Lilly, and Billy Zane.
Witnessing your grief through writing is a powerful tool for healing. Hear how grief writing helped two grievers as they navigated Jewish mourning rituals, and explore writing prompts to help you tell your own grief story. This experiential writing workshop will include the opportunity to share in optional small-group breakout sessions. This session is offered in partnership with Shomer Collective.
