Queer Shabbat is a monthly ritual space for reflection, connection, grounding in the sacred cycles of Jewish time. This is a space for self-identified Queer Jews and their loved ones to gather. We will be hosting hybrid Queer Shabbat INDOOR IN-PERSON and also on ZOOM. We are meeting in the Bayt B'racha (Dining Hall behind kitchen). Please come masked! Whether you are attending virtually or in person, you're invited to bring: songs, poetry, movement, creative activities, and meditations from your heart. Bring (vegetarian) food to eat yourself or to share while we chat after the service (some people may choose to unmask in order to eat together). Ritual items and challah welcome.

For any questions and zoom link, please contact queershabbatnahalatshalom@gmail.org

Have you wondered why we call organized prayer, “services”? We gather together in sacred space to “serve,” to do sacred work with and for each other.

The Shabbat morning “service” is not a random collection of prayers. It is a journey taking us both out of ourselves and into ourselves. Through prayer, chant, song, movement, and meditation, we will travel the path of the Jewish mystics to the sacred heart of Shabbat.

Refresh your souls with shared song, worship, and learning. New and old melodies in a traditional-ish service including creative ways to make the parashah come alive - drama, storytelling, discussion. Families with children (even very young!) are especially encouraged to join - we expect your children to act like children and that is welcome! May they absorb the joy and song around them like the sponges they are. Kiddush and oneg to follow - feel free to bring something to share.

Let us welcome the arrival of the Sabbath Bride by chanting sacred phrases together, as we let go of the week that was and, in the silence after the chant, receive the blessings of Shabbat.

Chanting Kabbalat Shabbat will meet in the welcoming and spacious sanctuary at Nahalat Shalom. We look forward to hearing all of our voices joining in generosity.
