On Oct 2-3 and Oct 11-12 we gathered at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center in NYC and online, to co-create community and activate a new year with renewed focus on what matters most. Rabbi Amichai’s prophetic sermons from Erev Rosh Hashanah & Kol Nidre are available now:
We invite you to check out more highlights on Youtube and instagram, including full recordings, Storahtelling, and more!
THANKS: Our giant gratitude to all who co-created these powerful days with us in so many ways, with so much talent and passion – and to all of you who joined us, in NYC and at home – to begin this brave new year together.
WOW: So many meaningful moments were experienced and so much labor of love went into every single detail of the sacred season. Take a moment to reflect: What’s ONE WOW from these days that stays with you today and into the new year? Want to share your WOW? Feel free to express your radical amazement and you can always tag @labshul.
OOPS: The official season of forgiveness is over but never too late to apologize for whatever way we may have missed the mark. If there’s any helpful feedback or suggestion for improving what we do ahead — we are sorry for anything that may have gone wrong and ask for your forgiveness – and feedback!
PLEASE: It costs more than $200,000 to create our artist-driven, everybody friendly High Holy Days experience, from our youngest participants to our elders. Lab/Shul does not a make a profit on the High Holy Days. What you generously contribute through your ticket purchase only covers direct costs, so we rely on donations to support our year-round programming and operations.
So much is broken. Mid-summer and mid-sorrows, we reveal our emergent theme for this season of High Holy Days of Awe: We begin our return to repair…
TIKKUN תיקון - Return to Repair.
RESERVE TODAY: SEPT 22-23 + OCT 1-2

This past Saturday we gathered in Brooklyn to unscroll our Torah from the end to the beginning - and began again from our Genesis, eager for a much better year, for all. Led by our ritual team + guest shamans & storytellers, we held the circle of our sacred story and sang about starting again from the beginning, again and again, with pain and with hope. We unscrolled, uplifted, raised each other’s prayers during these difficult days and lit up the Shabbat of Genesis, building bridges towards kinder days and better stories that can serve our people and all people - better. Let there be light.
