Upcoming programs:
Shelter events are interspiritual, with a grounding in Jewish tradition. We particularly welcome those who have felt outside traditional religious settings, whether that is as a member of an interfaith family, LGBTQ+ folk or Spiritual but not Religious.
4th Friday Shabbat Supper
Friday, Mar 27 @ 7:00 pm PST
Be you Jewish, Jew-ish, part of an interfaith family or Spiritual but not Religious You Are Welcome! We are an LGBTQ+ safe space. This month the new moon coincides with Shabbat!
Bring a side dish, beverage or dessert to share. We provide main course, challahs (g & gf) and grape juice.
We have an immunocompromised family member so ask that folks wear masks when inside the house. Dinner and gathering are on the covered & heated patio which is mask free. There is one step into the house, and one onto the patio.

Passover Seder: Liberation from Pharaohs Then & Now
Like the mixed multitude which made the exodus out of Egypt, we are once again in a time of constriction and oppression. You do not have to be Jewish to participate in this ritual of liberation. We’ll provide the matzah ball soup, homemade gefilte fish and ritual items. You bring side dishes & desserts. RSVP to rivka@shelterforthespirit.com to get the address. This is an in-person event only.
Second Saturday Interspiritual Shabbat Service
Saturday, May 9th @ 10:30 am
NOTE: There will not be a service in April, as we’ll be at a conference. Shelter Shabbats are grounded in Jewish rhythms and spiritual practices but are deeply ecumenical, inviting in the interspiritual wisdom found in other traditions. Our services are open to people of any faith tradition or no faith tradition. We welcome LGBTQ folk, interfaith families, and Spiritual but Not Religious. We strive to be trauma informed, particularly with regard to religious wounding. Please email rivka@shelterforthespirit.com to indicate if you will be on zoom or in person. Curious about the service? Check out a couple of recent ones on the links page.
