SUMMARY:Courageous Conversations: Visionary x Partners Community Salon

Not a partner yet? It’s easy to join. Learn more about our flexible options here.) \nEach month\, Lab/Shul’s Visionary Salon gathers a circle of Visionary Partners around one timely\, soul-stirring question. For Hanukkah – and as a continuation of the brave conversations we began on Kol Nidre – we’re opening this month’s Salon to all Partners. This gathering offers a space to spark hope and a first glimpse of our returning Courageous Conversations 2026 cohort – a community experience rooted in empathy\, dialogue\, and deep listening that has supported and sustained us in recent years. \nFacilitated in person by Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie and online by Melissa Shaw\, this Salon welcomes anyone ready to listen deeply\, speak thoughtfully\, and sit with complexity in community. \nOur Courageous Conversations framework draws on years of Lab/Shul practice: professionally guided dialogue\, a blend of large talking circle and small group formats\, this series nurtures understanding\, empathy\, and essential communication skills while embracing the diverse perspectives\, beliefs\, and experiences that shape our collective fabric. Each session offers a supportive space for thoughtful discussion\, equipping participants with tools to navigate conversations across disagreement with openness and respect. \n*Zoom information shared upon registration. \nThe virtual program is offered to partners only with a suggested donation of $18. Give what feels right—more if you can support others\, less if needed. Your presence is what matters most. \nQuestions? Reach out to sylvie@labshul.org. \nREGISTRATION>>

SUMMARY:October 7th: Two Year Vigil
DESCRIPTION:OCTOBER 7TH: TWO YEAR VIGIL\nTues Oct 7th\n7:00pm EST\nUnion Square\n  \n  \n\nWith broken\, yet still breaking hearts – along with Israelis for Peace – we invite you to the second October 7th memorial vigil. \nNot even in our worst nightmares did we imagine that we would be convening for the second memorial while the bombs are still dropping – during an active genocide – during the continued abandonment\, if not the direct killing of the hostages – during man-made famine – during ethnic cleansing – during the destruction of whole cities – during state-sanctioned deadly pogroms in the West Bank – during the disappearance of thousands of Palestinians to be tortured in military prisons\, with no charges – during the daily arrests of anti-war protestors all over Israel – during the international rise of authoritarianism and fascism. \nSo in this hell\, in this darkness\, we will come together\, in defiance\, and honor the sanctity of all human life. \nPlease join us. No registration required. \n\n

SUMMARY:Four Questions & Courageous Conversation for this New Jewish Year:  What Does it Feel Like to be Jewish Today? 
DESCRIPTION:Four Questions & Courageous Conversation for this New Jewish Year:\nWhat Does it Feel Like to be Jewish Today?\nYOM KIPPUR EVE\nWed Oct 1st\n9:15-10:30pm ET\nIN PERSON + ONLINE*\n\nOn this Kol Nidrei night\, Lab/Shul invites you into a bold and tender exploration of Jewish identity in 2025. Inspired by the Four Children of the Passover Haggadah—each representing a distinct archetype and response to life\, and by the four questions of the Seder—we will gather as a community on this sacred night of atonement on which we don’t eat but do get to ask big questions about liberation and identity: \n\nWhat does it mean to be Jewish today?\nWhere do our loyalties lie?\nHow do we hold both hurt and hope\, shame and pride?\n\nThrough an interactive panel with Lab/Shul’s ritual team and special guests\, combined with opportunities for personal reflection and shared response\, we’ll confront the hardest questions of belonging and belief in this moment\, and open our hearts to the responsible possibilities of renewal and repair. \n*This program will be held following the Kol Nidrei ritual and is open to all who are joining us on this night\, in person or online.  \n\nREGISTRATION >> included with High Holy Days Registration\n
