Lab/Shul is, at its heart, a way to step into the center of our community, building relationships towards a common vision of love and justice.

Our Community Members are an integral part of creating the sacred space that makes every Lab/Shul gathering so special. Whether you’re a Partner looking to fulfill your Shul/Shift or are new to the community and looking to connect with like-minded new friends – we’ve got you. Here are five ways to get involved:

Soup Circle: Commit to the sacred task of bikor holim—visiting the ill—by sending a cup of soup, reaching out by phone, or even stopping by for a visit.

Parterhood Circle Holders: Host Shabbat dinners, study salons, or any other small group affinity-based gatherings.

Sacred Space Specialists: Volunteer to be a greeter, help set up or clean up at High Holy Day, Shabbat and other holiday programs, co-creating space and energy for sacred communal experience.

Feast Team: Upgrade the sacred the act of sharing a table, raising a glass, and breaking bread together at Lab/Shul’s catered Shabbat and holiday feasts.

Justice Team: Work in solidarity with community partners and vulnerable populations towards impactful positive change in New York City and beyond.

Refugee Task Force: Respond to the global refugee crisis with dedicated social actions and partner organizations.

Do you have skills in marketing, fundraising, outreach, or other forms of organizational support? We are always looking for Partners to help us with important behind-the-scenes work that helps Lab/Shul run.

Remember, Partners contribute between one to twelve Shul/Shifts a year to make Lab/Shul happen. Curious about joining the Lab/Shul Partnerhood? Discover Partner benefits.
