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.

Join us for the preeminent new moon, Rosh HaShanah – the Birthday of the World. At each new moon we set intentions for the coming month; on this new moon we celebrate the birthday of the world and set our intentions for the coming year. Join us for ritual, song, reflection and prayers of renewal.

RSVP to [rivka@shelterforthespirit.com] to get either the physical address or the zoom link.

Second Saturday Interspiritual Shabbat Service/Rosh HaShanah Day 1

Saturday, Sept 12 @ 10:30 am

Shelter Shabbats are grounded in Jewish rhythms and spiritual practices but are deeply ecumenical, inviting in the interspiritual wisdom found in other traditions. This month’s 2nd Saturday coincides with the first day of Rosh HaShanah. Come for the service and stay for potluck lunch! 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.
