Havdalah Rituals & Blessings – Experience the beauty of Havdalah as we mark the end of Shabbat in a welcoming, joyful setting with blessings, songs, and the shared light of the candle, led by multiracial, local Jewish spiritual leaders. Hands-On Crafts, Cooking & Activities – From interactive arts to cooking demonstrations, there will be plenty of creative stations to explore and enjoy. Music, Stories, and Songs – Enjoy lively music and storytelling from Jewish cultures around the world, celebrating the rich diversity of our Jewish heritage. Delicious Snacks & Desserts – Treat yourself to a variety of tasty (and kosher) treats and desserts, specially selected to bring joy to the whole family.

A Celebration of Multicultural Jewish Identity

Inspired by both the Lunar New Year and the beginning of Black History Month, we will gather in a welcoming and joyful space for diverse Jewish families to mark the end of the week, explore their unique cultural histories while also creating space for learning, conversation, and celebration of Jewish experiences. Together, we will explore traditions, share stories, enjoy tasty treats and celebrate the fullness of our identities.

This event is open to all multiracial and Jewish families of color.

Come celebrate and connect in a space where all are seen, valued, and celebrated.

We can’t wait to share this beautiful evening with you!
