Dear Lab/Shul,

You know Spring is on its way when we have two full moon holidays coming up, one after another. And wouldn’t you know, they’re connected, radical tales of looking back to look forward.

Truly a season for liberatory release, Purim is coming up this Monday night (Join us in the House of Yes, more on that down below!) and one moon later –  the holiday of Passover.

I am thrilled to invite you to Freedom Feast, our MULTI-FAITH LIBERATION SEDER on the first night of Passover, April 5 2023 at Judson Memorial Church – and online.

I will be leading this festive feast with Rabbi Amichai and our ritual team, along with friends and partners in the ongoing sacred work of liberation and justice. Our guest leaders include Rev. Jacquie Lewis of Middle Collegiate Church, Sensei Koshin and Sensei Chodo of NY Zen Center, Rev Micah Bucey of Judson Memorial Church, Reverend Derrick McQueen of St. James Presbyterian Church – and many more, including musicians, artists, activists – and you!

And don’t forget about Purim this coming Monday Night! We will go through seven gates, from the crown down, all the way home to our inner selves. Cause, how you gonna get anywhere if you don’t go through self?

Come on, I’ll meet you there. We’ll do it together. I’ll be dressed to die for. Literally.

Also, hamantaschen.

Here’s to the season of liberation.

Toward self. Toward collective.

With love,

Shira Kline
Co-Founder and Spiritual Leader.
