Shabbat Services & Meditation Retreat

Friday, February 20, 2026 3 Adar 5786

7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Join us for a special mindfulness-infused Shabbat service Friday night at 7pm—open to the broader EC community. The service launches our day-long meditation retreat continuing Saturday. (All retreat participants begin Friday evening.)

Delighting in the Unknown: A Shabbat Meditation Retreat

The Talmud tells us that whoever enters the month of Adar increases in simcha, in happiness. Adar's central holiday, Purim, instructs us to party until we don’t know the difference between the story's hero and villain. In fact, the entire Purim story is one of v’nahafoch hu – everything we thought we knew, flipped on its head.

While upheavals and uncertainties tend to elicit anxiety, the holiday of Purim and the month of Adar teach us to embrace the unknown with joy, delight, and wonder. But orienting in this way is easier said than done. That’s why we’re taking a full day to meditate on it! Through Jewish spiritual practice, silent meditation, and movement, we'll turn these teachings into embodied knowing - ways of being we can actually integrate back into our lives.

Curious? Join us. 

Registration for the retreat is now closed. All are welcome at Shabbat services on Friday!
