We've been busy and loving it! Find out about our Shabbat+ retreat last weekend (and sign up so you don't miss the next one), and our plans for Winter 5786 / 2025/6:

Winter 5786 / 2025/6 update

10/09/2025

We thought we had sold out for our retreat weekend in November, but sometimes plans change and that's OK and that means that for one (or two if you share) lucky person, there is still space to come!

When it's gone, it's gone...

It's going to be a weekend of soul-filling, nourishing Shabbat and more together.

A time to stop and reflect and sing and cherish and wander (and wonder!) in nature, to make new meaningful connections with like-minded people.

Intentionally small and intimate, we're really looking forward to our Shabbat+ retreat!

Love from,

Rabbi Marcia Plumb
and
Student Rabbi Anna Dyson

Shabbat and a little bit more, together, in an egalitarian creative progressive Jewish adult space. Expect ruach (spirit), informal discussions on themes of mutual interest, maybe a refreshing walk - a soul-filling Shabbat+ together!

Day 17 of the Omer: Yom haZikaron: This mural is part of a series of murals dedicated to the hostages. On Yom Hazikaron, we mourn the loss of so many who lost their lives through self sacrifice defending the State of Israel, and those who died as victims of terror. Enough! Enough lives lost through hatred and fear on all sides. Enough of mothers’ tears. Enough of fathers yearning for their children chained in tunnels. Enough! Release the hostages NOW. Put down all guns, and pick up the plowshares to rebuild. Allow something to grow amidst the rubble of concrete and heartbreak.
77 years is long enough to wait for peace. Written by Rabbi Marcia Plumb
