In this time of physical disconnect, let us choose connection... We may not be able to go out into the apple orchards to welcome the Shabbat like the sixteenth century Jewish mystics, but we can convene in this Online Orchard, to sing in the Day of Rest with chants, meditations, and wordless melodies.
When you email us, please share a short personal memory of something calming, so we know you are a real human being.
This event is offered free of charge. If you are feeling abundant, we would appreciate a donation towards our work.
This event is open to all, regardless of whether or not you are able to donate.

In the middle ages, kabbalists - Jewish mystics - devised a festive meal to celebrate the New Year of the Trees and journey through the four kabbalist worlds (layers of existence). We invite you to a Tu Bishvat seder Yelala-style, delving into a different seder of four worlds, exploring our relationship with ancient, mythic, personal and communal memories of trees, along with song, sacred foods and storytelling, rejoicing in the Earth’s produce as she begins to wake up from her slumber.

The Jewish leap year contains a whole additional lunar month of Adar.
During Adar I we celebrate Purim Katan. The festival of Purim celebrates a specific story of communal salvation, but Purim Katan has often been taken as a chance to commemorate local stories with the same theme.
Our full moon circles are tapestries of song and celebration. For this one, we will learn more about Purim Katan, and combine it with our own tales and memories of resilience and survival against all odds.

Having kindled our own sacred fools, we join together in the communal festival of sacred foolery! We will embody the joyful, life-affirming energy of Purim, celebrate the heroines Vashti and Esther, and rejoice that Spring is here!
