JMCW and Briyut are excited to announce a new set of spiritual resources to help enter and reenter our sacred spaces following the profound shifts of the last two years. We hope that each person in our community finds something within the following resources that speaks to them. They are being offered freely and a la carte. (There is no obligation to participate in all of them.) For more information or to request accommodations to fully participate in any of these programs, please email Yoni Buckman.

Adas Israel received a generous Signature Grant from the Covenant Foundation to help us develop these resources.
