I’M NEW TO LAB /SHUL
We’re a lab, remixing Judaism for the 21st century and our evolving diverse community. Like a synagogue and a shul, we’re a vibrant space to nurture your personal growth, support your communal and spiritual needs, and explore the ways Jewish tradition can help make life meaningful today–for everyone.
Lab/Jr. is happening! Highly skilled, enthusiastic artist-educators are offering engaging kids’ programming for everyone from 0-12. This year we’ll have Lab/Jr. offerings in person. Click here to learn more about Lab/Jr!
Safety and security are our top priorities for Lab/Shul’s High Holy Days programming. In preparation, we have participated in multiple security trainings with various entities, including UJA Federation NY’s Community Security Initiative, the NYPD, and other trusted sources. We’ve also partnered with BMCC staff to coordinate all safety and security protocols. All Lab/Shul staff, hired educators, and production staff have been trained to handle a wide range of safety and security scenarios. If you notice anything on-site, please alert any Lab/Shul staff member, volunteer, BMCC House Management, or production management staff.
This year’s high holy days
With respect for the importance of these days, wear whatever allows you to feel comfortable, open, and present. We encourage you to suit up with any ritual gear that is part of your religious practice. We don’t provide prayer shawls but we do have cool kippot.
Pro Tip: Most people glam up on Rosh Hashanah night, and throughout Yom Kippur some prefer to wear white and abstain from leather shoes…or footwear in general.
All our ritual programs will be held at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center, near Chambers + West St. on 199 Chambers St, New York, NY 10007 and via Live Stream. Some of our public events during the High Holy season will be held at different locations across NYC, so check the schedule closely!
There will be a small mask-only section in our main ritual space. Please stay home if you are feeling ill.
