IN PERSON: BIPOC and their white beloveds Shabbat
with Ruthie Levin, Kehilla’s People of Color organizer

POC Shabbat – Beloved community, this space is for Black, Brown and Indigenous folks, and folks who identify as People of Color. This month your white beloveds are welcome to join! We will slow down, embody self-care and step fully into our time of rest. We’ll gather at 6:45; at 7pm we’ll light candles and invoke sacred space together in a brief service. Please bring a potluck dish to share. A main dish will be provided. Please bring a side dish or dessert. This space is for us, created by us.

Contact Ruthie Levin, POC Organizer at ruthie@kehillasynagogue.org if you would like to co-lead, lead, or create future BIPOC Shabbat services. 

For in-person attendance, please adhere to the COVID Public Health Protocols.
