Longing for Belonging?? Come on over to the Partnerhood

No matter your identity, you belong here.
However you arrived, you are welcome here.

At Lab/Shul, you belong because you’re here. Because you bring your whole self. All your questions and convictions, your doubts and dreams, your grief and joy.

Hineinu—Here We Are—is one of our core values. It is both a declaration and an invitation: to show up for ourselves, for one another, and for our world, exactly as we are.

In this fractured, post-10/7 world, Lab/Shul offers something increasingly rare: a spiritual home spacious enough to hold all that we carry. Proudly Everybody-Friendly, God-Optional, and Anti-Divisivist, we are bridge-builders and peacemakers. We hold multiple truths, embrace complexity, and deepen connection through courage and love. We believe we can disagree without disconnecting, and that belonging never requires conformity.

This is the community we are building together. And we need you to help sustain it.

Renew or Join Lab/Shul’s Partnerhood

Partnerhood is more than membership. It’s a commitment to one another and an investment in the kind of Jewish community, and the kind of world we want to create.

Your Partnerhood supports year-round transformative ritual, innovative learning, courageous conversations, community care, and meaningful opportunities to connect and celebrate.

As a Lab/Shul Partner, you’ll enjoy:

• Priority access to Lab/Shul’s ritual team for pastoral care, lifecycle moments, and spiritual support.

• Discounted admission to High Holy Days, holiday celebrations, learning programs, and other special events.

• Special Partner gatherings throughout the year to build relationships and deepen community.

• A voice in our future, with opportunities to help shape Lab/Shul’s innovative approach to Jewish life.

• Opportunities to lead and be led, from hosting gatherings and volunteering to creating meaningful change in our wider world.

Partnerhood is accessible with a range of contributions options. Every Partner makes a difference, and every contribution helps sustain our community.
