Kabbalat Shavua: A Havdalah Nigun Circle

June 27, 7:00 PM at the JCC
We know how to welcome Shabbat with intention, but how do we carry Shabbat with us as we step back into the week?
In the tradition of Melaveh Malka, we accompany Shabbat as the week begins, we affirm that Shabbat does not simply end, it continues to flow into the days ahead.
Co-led by Hazzan Shimon Smith, Music Director of Romemu, and Ben Romano, Artist in Residence at the JCC, joined by a circle of musicians in an open, communal nigun circle. Feel free to bring a guitar; we’ll have chords. (Thinking of bringing a different instrument Email shimon@romemu.org.)

Jewish Recovery Fellowship: 12 Step

Romemu is reopening our Jewish recovery fellowship for anyone seeking freedom from addiction of any kind.
What it is: An anonymous 12-step group following the traditions of AA, drawing on Jewish spiritual wisdom from Jewish 12-step recovery texts, Torah, Mussar teachings, and other Jewish wisdom throughout the ages.
Who it’s for: Anyone struggling with addiction—whether you’re at the beginning of your journey, have been sober for years, months, or are taking it one day at a time. Anyone supporting someone in recovery. Anyone seeking a Jewish perspective on the 12 steps. Jewish or not, you’re welcome.
We’re just starting: Email 12step@romemu.org to join our group and help build this community. We’re planning to meet in person once or several times monthly.
Kabbalah Cafe with Rabbi David

June 25, 7:00 PM, location disclosed upon registration
Kabbalah Cafe began quietly and beautifully in the home of one of the founders of Romemu —as a small circle gathering around mystical texts, shared questions, and the simple holiness of being together. We are grateful that this learning will now continue restoring that same sense of warmth, intimacy, and presence.
These evenings will weave together Zohar and Hasidut, silence and song—learning that invites depth without pretense. This is not an academic course, but a lived encounter with Jewish mysticism: study meant to be felt, tasted, and carried, rather than mastered.
