Join us for a return to our in-person Shavuot community celebration with Bnai Keshet, Shomrei Emunah, Temple Ner Tamid, and Temple Sholom of West Essex. Taking place this year at Temple Ner Tamid (936 Broad St.), we will gather together for a night of prayer, study, and Torah. In addition to our classes, taught by local clergy and congregants, we will be joined by scholar and artist Yael Kanarek whose project Beit Toratah, looks at the role that gendered language plays in our Torah and prayers, and seeks to re-gender the Torah in order to give a fresh lens through which to read scripture. For more information about Yael's work visit: https://www.beittoratah.org/. 

For those unable to attend in person, the 7:30pm Festival Service and 9:15pm Discussion with Yael Kanarek will be streamed over Zoom. Click here to join.
