Event description

The Jewish month of Kislev literally translates to "pocket (of the) heart". It is a time to spiritually slow down and take stock of our hearts -- what are we carrying inside? What are we dreaming of? What love can we ground in to carry us through the winter months?

In this pocket of time between two avalanching US political events of election and inauguration, in the midst of ongoing heartbreak and destruction in Gaza and Lebanon, we will gather to sing songs to welcome the month of Kislev, and to reaffirm our dreams and our commitment to fighting for life.

Time: 

7:30-8:30pm EST// 6:30-7:30pm CT // 4:30-5:30 PST

Cost:

$8-54 sliding scale, with no one turned away for lack of funds

10% of proceeds will be donated to Gaza mutual aid
