What Jewish practices\, ancient and emerging\, can help us meet this moment? \nRegister here >\nThe Big Jewish Gathering is a bold new experiment in Jewish spiritual and cultural life: a two-day spiritual laboratory where emerging and established Jewish leaders will co-create a Judaism that meets this moment — one that is rooted\, relevant\, and alive. ​ \nThis is not a retreat. It’s not a synagogue service. It is a practice ground for connection\, creativity\, and renewal\, open to anyone interested in vibrant\, meaningful engagement with a Judaism that is embodied\, relational\, and grounded in tradition.
