Havdalah

📅 Date: Saturday, June 21

Time: We’ll begin at 7:00pm with a potluck and conversation. The Havdalah ritual will follow around 8:30.

📍 Location: At Rabbi Cat’s home in Oakland about 0.5 miles from MacArthur BART. The exact address will be shared upon registration. (Registration link coming soon!)

Join us for an evening of connection, community, and ritual as we mark the transition from Shabbat into the new week. We’ll gather in a warm, welcoming, and radically antizionist Jewish space to share food, music, and conversation, weaving together heart, spirit, and justice. The evening will begin with a potluck and time to connect—through song and conversation— followed by a Havdalah ritual to gently close Shabbat and welcome the week ahead. Whether you’re a longtime part of the community or joining us for the first time, this is a space to be nourished, inspired, and held.
