We Will Dance Again
three years later
the world has changed
for one night
we dance from mourning toward resilient joy
This is a Jewish embodiment lab for turning pain into joy. Joy is not denial. Joy is a response we're allowed to feel in our bodies, even now. Maybe especially now.
Bring your grief if that's what you're carrying. Bring your anger too. But bring your hunger for joy, because that's what tonight is built for. We move toward it together.
Reform, Conservative, Renewal, Orthodox. All of us, one floor, dancing toward the same resilient joy.
Come as you are, and dance anyway. We move first. Joy first. Understanding comes after.
6:30pm — Doors open
7:00pm — Opening the container
7:30 — Ecstatic dance with DJ Oatmeal and Alec Huston
9:00pm — Live music sound bath with Sivan Arbel
Live painting installation. Tea installation. Photography on site. Register here

SPECIAL Shabbat Shiur w/Reb Beni
SPECIAL Shabbat Shiur w/Reb Beni
October 10, 2026 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Join us for an extraordinarily meaningful Shabbat afternoon shiur as we open the pages of a truly rare gem of Torah scholarship: Kol Zimra, the classic work on the Torah authored by Rabbi Yosef Knafo z”l—the illustrious great-grandfather of our very own congregant, Hai Knafo!
Rabbi Yosef Knafo z”l was a brilliant scholar, kabbalist, and leader in 19th-century Mogador, Morocco. His deep, soul-stirring commentary brings timeless insight, warmth, and depth to the weekly Torah portion, weaving together rich traditions and profound original thought.
This is a unique opportunity to immerse ourselves in an exceptional sefer that isn't widely accessible today—and to connect directly with the incredible rabbinic heritage living within our own community family.
Come curious, bring a friend, and get ready to experience the sweet, uplifting light of Kol Zimra. Everyone is welcome!

10/15/26 ~ Medical Aid in Dying (MAID): Halacha and Ethical Issues
It has long been accepted in both American and Jewish medical ethics to remove
life support and begin hospice care for patients who have, in their doctors' opinion, an incurable disease or condition and less than six months to live. Beginning in Oregon in 1997 and now in thirteen states, the District of Columbia, Canada, Colombia, and several European countries, it is now also permissible to give patients the drugs they request to hasten their dying process. Via live zoom, Rabbi Elliot Dorff will discuss this from a Jewish perspective, based on the rabbinic ruling that he wrote for the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards of the Rabbinical Assembly and Conservative/Masorti Movement. Q&A will follow.
Rabbi Elliot Dorff, Ph.D., is Rector and Distinguished Service Professor of Philosophy at American Jewish University. He has served on three federal commissions and one California commission on issues of medical ethics. He has been a member of the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards of the Rabbinical Assembly and Conservative/Masorti Movement for forty years and served as its Chair for fifteen years. His book on medical ethics is Matters of Life and Death: A Jewish Approach to Modern Medical Ethics (1998), but in his most recent book, Ethics at the Center: Jewish Theory and Practice for Living a Moral Life (2024) he describes how and why he has changed his mind about Medical Aid in Dying (MAID.)

Join Reb Beni and SHIUR for the second stop of SHIUR’s New York Dérive/Drift - a night of art, music performance, and text-based discourse.
This evening is part of a multi-week series moving through galleries, artists’ studios, and other spaces across New York. At each stop, SHIUR brings art and music into conversation with text-based discourse drawing from Jewish texts, philosophy, literature and theory, allowing the works, the spaces, and the texts to encounter and transform one another.
This is also an opportunity for SHIUR supporters to participate directly in the practice at the center of what we do: reading together across intellectual traditions and generating new discourse through encounters between texts, people, art and place.
Drinks and snacks will be provided
