Shabbat Unbound: Hashkiveinu (Divine Protection)
Hashkiveinu calls toward God to “spread over us a shelter of peace” and also for God to offer protection from life’s obstacles. Come explore this liturgy, and its call for a more liberated world, at our upcoming Shabbat Unbound gathering.
Shabbat Unbound: Yis’m’chu (The Joy of Shabbat)
Being happy. It's a lovely thing that most of us desire, and also pretty hard in our world right now, full of oppression and violence. Come gather with Shabbat Unbound as we dive into Yism'chu, a prayer pushing us to find delight in Shabbat -- not as a departure from our world and its challenges, but specifically as a *remembrance" (zecher) of the creation of our world.
Shabbat Unbound: Shalom Rav
The Amidah (standing prayer) is the central component of most forms of Jewish prayer. It concludes with Shalom Rav, a prayer for (literally) "much peace." Come explore this liturgy, and its call for a more liberated world, at our upcoming Shabbat Unbound gathering.
Shabbat Unbound: Ahavat Olam (pre-Valentine's Love prayer)
Shabbat Unbound is an experiment. What happens if we treat Friday-night not just as a chance to roll through a catalogue of prayers, but if instead we take each Shabbat as a chance to really dive deep into one prayer in particular? Over the course of 12 months, we seek to answer that question. Instead of reciting fifteen prayers in one sitting, we'll explore one prayer deeply — through song, textual exploration, group conversation and more.
