Friends,
The new crescent moon of the final month of the Jewish year is shining tonight, on the heels of a solar eclipse and a night of meteors.
This cosmic confluence invites us to begin this month of reflection and repair with humility and awe, focusing on forgiveness.
In the spirit of forgiveness - I’m sorry for the last minute change but please mark your calendars - our next monthly LIVE Learning Session will NOT be on August 23rd but on August 30th at 2pm instead.
This session is OPEN AND FREE FOR ALL - scroll down for details.
I’m also excited to invite you to join me and the Lab/Shul community for our annual 40 days virtual journey into the new year - starting today - on SubStack.

Queen Jezebel & the Prophet Elijah: Sex, Power, and North/South Spin
The most maligned queen and most misunderstood prophet were not friendly. But did they share similar passions and goals?
Jezebel and Elijah face off as embodiments of northern pluralism vs. Judahite zeal. Reading through this tragic tale that spans generations, we unpack how gender, foreignness, and religious difference get weaponized—and how Jezebel’s “bad press” reveals whose side has been telling Judaism’s story.
