SUMMARY:Create College Shabbat Starter Kits with Hillel
DESCRIPTION:Registration is closed. \nCommunity teens are invited to visit a local college Hillel to get an inside look at Jewish life on campus. They’ll meet student leaders\, learn how Hillel builds community\, and explore what Jewish engagement can look like in a college setting. Together\, participants will create and pack “College Shabbat Starter Kits\,” which Hillel will distribute to student members in the fall to help them host their own Shabbat gatherings and build Jewish community in their dorms and apartments. \nAs part of the experience\, volunteers will also create a challah cover to take home—bringing a tangible reminder of Jewish identity and connection into their own spaces.

SUMMARY:Jewish Without Apology: A Conversation with Sarah Hurwitz
DESCRIPTION:She wrote speeches for the Obamas. Then she realized she didn’t know her own story. \nAward-winning author Sarah Hurwitz (“As a Jew”) joins Rabbi Julie Roth for a candid conversation about rediscovering Judaism as an adult and why its intellectual depth and moral clarity feel strikingly relevant to modern life. From finding meaning in a chaotic world to standing tall against rising antisemitism\, Sarah explores why embracing Jewish wisdom isn’t just about honoring the past — it’s about sanctifying the present and elevating our shared humanity. \nBook signing to follow.
