Join us as we mark the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year when light reaches its fullest expression. This turning point invites us to celebrate abundance, energy, and growth, while also honoring the natural cycles of expansion and contraction that shape all life. Using the Jewish Studio Process – a unique methodology blending art therapy practices with a reimagined approach to Jewish learning and spirituality – we'll reflect on what has blossomed within and around us, and prepare ourselves for the changes ahead.

This program is offered free of charge and will take place on Zoom with closed captions.
