Kabbalat Shavua: A Havdalah Nigun Circle

 

7:00 PM at the JCC · Last Saturday of each month May 30 · June 27

 

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.)

Zalman Newfield: From Tradition to Transformation

In this live taping of Detours & Destinations, Rabbi Ingber welcomes Zalman Newfield for a thoughtful and engaging conversation about the power of inquiry in shaping the soul.

Kabbalah Cafe with Rabbi Ingber

Kabbalah Cafe with Rabbi Ingber

 

 

May: 14, 28 | June: 18, 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.

When We See You Again: Rachel Goldberg-Polin in Conversation with Rabbi Ingber

When We See You Again: Rachel Goldberg-Polin in Conversation with Rabbi Ingber
June 3, 2026, 7:30 PM at 92NY, 1395 Lexington Avenue New York

 

92NY is honored to host Rachel Goldberg-Polin in conversation with Rabbi David Ingber, discussing her new book, When We See You Again.

 

In it, Rachel pours her pain, love, and longing onto paper, giving voice to the broken among us, and reminding us that even when the world feels choked with darkness, light exists in a different way. How do we find it? Her own experience has been extreme, but at its essence, this is a universal story of trying to live with grief. It is a story of how we remember and how we persevere, of how we suffer and how we love.

 

Every ticket includes a copy of When We See You Again by Rachel Goldberg-Polin.
