Jewish Gateways

Each of us has aspects of our selves we hide, from others, even from ourselves.

On the Jewish holiday of Purim it is traditional to reveal the hidden, to look beneath the masks.

Join us to reflect on our hidden selves, and make masks that reveal the parts we'd like to bring to light!

 
We'll gather Friday, March 14, for a no-experience-necessary Shabbat dinner, plus learning, laughter, and mask-making.

All are welcome.

Time: 6:15 PM

Place: Jewish Gateways' cozy home near El Cerrito Plaza and BART station

Childcare: available by reservation

After gathering at 6:15, we'll continue with:
6:30 - Candle lighting and dinner
7:30 - Rabbi Bridget Wynne will lead a lively interactive teaching on the self behind the mask, and we will each make our own mask that reveals whatever we choose to bring to light
8:30 - Dessert and schmoozing (time to hang out and chat)

Space is limited. Please contact Rabbi Bridget Wynne at Jewish Gateways, (510) 559-8140, or rabbibridget@jewishgateways.org, to make a reservation and get directions and your food assignment. If your schedule doesn't allow you to bring a dish to share, we offer you the option of contributing $7 toward the dinner.
