Events and Classes
Starting this November, join us for a brand-new Lunch and Learn series following our Shabbat morning gatherings!
Led by Rabbi Ariel, these informal learning sessions will explore a range of fascinating topics — including the power of saying “Amen”, dream magic in our mystical tradition, the role of Oneg (pleasure) in spiritual practice, the 39 melachot of Shabbat, and more.
Bring your curiosity (and your lunch!) as we dive into teachings that nourish both mind and soul.
“Lunch and Learn”
Series with Ariel Hendelman
Join B’nai Or for a joyful outdoor Sukkot concert featuring Merchav, a sacred folk duo composed of violinist and vocalist Amalia Kelter Zeitlin and singer-songwriter and rabbinical student Julia Sabra.
Merchav’s music draws inspiration from Jewish liturgy, midrash, Tanakh, modern Hebrew poetry, and Jewish social justice traditions. Blending Hasidic nigunim, American folk, and Israeli devotional music, Amalia and Julia create an uplifting and participatory musical experience in English, Hebrew, and wordless song.
Rabbi Ariel Hendelman will also share teachings during the intermission, bringing together music, learning, and community in celebration of Sukkot.
