Surrounded by nature and community\, we’ll mark this sacred time with prayer\, reflection\, and connection. \nShavuot commemorates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai—a moment of deep spiritual awakening. We are taught that revelation is an ongoing process\, inviting us to receive wisdom in every moment. This sunrise gathering on Shavuot offers a unique opportunity to attune ourselves to that sacred transmission—past and present. \n🕊️ What to ExpectOpening Prayers to create sacred spaceGuided Meditation led by Rabbi Cat Zavis to open our hearts to the Torah we need nowCommunity Connection with light breakfast provided (feel free to bring snacks or drinks) \n🌿 What to BringBlanket or cushion (optional)Warm layersFood or drink to share (optional) \n♿ AccessibilityWheelchair accessibleOutdoor seating on stone benches without backsMasks optional \n🤲🏼 Take Action Given the ongoing genocide and starvation in Gaza\, we are also using this moment to mobilize and join the Jews for Food Aid for People in Gaza campaign. 👉 You can sign-on in support of this campaign here. http://foodaidforgaza.org/ \nThe goals of this campaign are to:• Show solidarity to Palestinians starving in Gaza• Embody liberatory Jewish values• Demonstrate MASS Jewish support for Israel to end its food aid blockade through a simple message that will appeal to the most people.

We will keep the room open so folks can connect with each other after the service. \nTorah Study on Parshat Nasso: Every burden matters. Every voice counts. \nJoin us this Shabbat as we dive into Parshat Nasso. At first glance\, some parts of this parsha might feel distant—or even troubling—from our modern sensibilities. But what if these ancient words still speak powerfully to the challenges of building a just and united community today? \nTogether\, we’ll explore questions like: \n\nWhat does Nasso teach us about building a society where every person has a role and a voice?\nHow do we confront and wrestle with texts that feel uncomfortable—like the sotah ritual—and still find meaning?\nWhat can this parsha reveal about the sacred burdens we carry\, and the responsibilities we share in our communities?\nIf we were writing a book today on how to build a nation of purpose\, justice\, and belonging—what chapters might we borrow from Nasso? What would we change? \n\nWhether you’re a regular Torah learner or just curious to explore deeper questions of community\, justice\, and identity\, this is a space to learn\, reflect\, and grow together. \nCome with your questions.

We will gather as people of diverse faiths\, cultures\, and communities who believe in the sacredness of life\, dignity\, and shared well-being. \nWe are organizing this pilgrimage because the violence funded by U.S. tax dollars in Gaza is not separate from the violence our communities experience here — through systems of incarceration\, family separation\, displacement\, and criminalization that target immigrants\, Indigenous people\, unsheltered neighbors\, trans and BIPOC communities. \n \nTo Join:\n\nRegister here: https://www.im4humanintegrity.org/2025/04/right-of-return-pilgrimage/\nWe have created a Signal Group (for iPhone or Android phones)  to communicate location and other details on the day of the event : -You can join our Signal group here: https://shorturl.at/q8Uij-If you need support getting started with the Signal\, please see this article: https://shorturl.at/IUQH9-If you do not want to join the signal group\, no worries\, you can meet us at the location above at 4:00pm on Sunday\, June 8.

We will keep the room open so folks can connect with each other after the service. \nA peek into Torah study with us and the parsha reading this week: \nIn this week’s parsha\, God tells Moses to send 12 scouts to survey the land. Moses shares God’s instructions. May God’s message have been misunderstood? The scouts come back with mixed reports. Most are terrified of what they see–the people are giants and we are mere grasshoppers. Two\, Joshua and Caleb\, reassure the people that the land is filled with abundance and the people aren’t so immense. What’s going on? Is this the moment when the former Israelite slaves prove to God that they lack the courage to enter the Promised Land\, or are they are war resisters? Is their response one of surplus powerlessness or a response to a higher ethos?  \nHow does this story in this parsha play out today? And can we imagine a different reality? Can this parsha help us imagine a different way of seeing and engaging with the land and people who inhabit it?  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Accessibility: \n\nMasking optional \nAir filter provided; windows can be opened on request.\nNot wheelchair accessible—4 steps into the home\, 4 to the backyard.\nSeating includes couches\, chairs\, and floor pillows.\nServices may be held outdoors (weather permitting); please dress accordingly.\nPlease avoid scented products.\nNo shoes indoors\, if possible.\nIndoor and outdoor space available for eating.\nA cat lives in the home.
