Selichot Retreat

Renew Queens (47-20 11th St, Queens, NY 11101) & on Zoom

Led by Rabbinic Intern Emily Herzlin and Rabbi Rachel Goldenberg

 

Join Malkut for a Selichot retreat to prepare our hearts for the Days of Awe. On Saturday September 9th as the month of Elul begins to draw to a close, we will gather at Renew Queens in LIC (47-20 11th St, Queens, NY 11101) or on Zoom for a Shabbat afternoon of meditation, gentle mindful movement, journaling, and community. The practices and activities we engage in together will help us to sit with our hearts, cultivate stillness, and contemplate how we can connect with a sense of enoughness for the year ahead.
