SUMMARY:Recollect Seasonal Kaddish Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Recollect Seasonal Kaddish Gathering\nSunday\, April 20th\, 2025\n6:30pm ET Online\nSpring brings a season of memory – collective\, memory in the Passover story where the Jewish people left Egypt\, but there was much loss along the way. Passover is the second of three ancient pilgrimage holidays when collective community gathers to remember (Yizkor). We will gather at the end of Passover online on April 20th 6:30pm Eastern time to reflect on the holiday and connect to our memories. \nLab/Shul’s ReCollect/Yizkor is a seasonal gathering to remember our loved ones\, share stories\, lift memory\, and say Kaddish\, the ancient memorial prayer\, together. Throughout the year\, ReCollect meets near or on the times of memory (Yizkor) on the Jewish calendar (Yom Kippur\, Sukkot\, Passover and Shavuot). \nWhether you’ve experienced a recent loss\, are remembering a loved one who passed long ago\, or showing up in support of community\, you are welcome here. Together\, we acknowledge feelings of loss that can be particularly painful as we anticipate empty chairs at our tables and holes in our hearts. \nRegistration >

SUMMARY:Becoming Israel - 2025
DESCRIPTION:Becoming Israel\nStaged Reading of an Original Play + Talkback with R. Amichai Lau-Lavie & Lab/Shul’s Leaders\n\nSunday\, April 27\, 2025\n6:15 Doors | 6:30-9:30pm ET Program\nNYC*\nJoin us for a staged reading & talkback of highlights from Becoming Israel\, an original play written by Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie\, directed by Annie Levy\, and staged by Storahtelling in 2008 to mark Israel’s 60th year.  \nRevised for today’s context\, Becoming Israel serves as a thought-provoking entry point for facilitated discussions on modern-day challenges\, questions and realities of Israel/Palestine and Jewish identity.  \nThis event – led by Rabbi Amichai and Lab/Shul’s leadership – opens the week that holds the complex narratives of Israel’s existence\, with commemoration of losses\, celebration of survival and creation of ceremonies for hope\, healing and peace for all the people who consider the holy land their home.  \nMore on Becoming Israel:\nBecoming Israel intertwines three parallel lives—Leah\, a Biblical wife; Rachel\, a Holocaust survivor; and Jake\, a young American on his first trip to Israel—who discover their shared story and common name: Israel\, “The One Who Struggles with Life.” This powerful narrative examines the intersections of individual identity and collective memory\, offering a closer look at the legacy of Israel and its relevance in our current global reality. Originally created by Rabbi Amichai and Storahtelling artists in 2008\, Becoming Israel was revised in 2025.   \nQuestions?
